No news is good news but news is here to stay Tightening the thumb-screws from day to day I hear the tale of a distant fray War is hell but it's half-a-world away I'm all right Nothing is bothering me I'm just trying to keep the weight of this world From dawning on me We get the picture from week to week The rich get richer and inherit the meek Long since started preying on the weak Am I the guilty party if I turn the other cheek I'm all right Nothing is bothering me I'm just trying to keep the weight of this world From dawning on me Hey now emotion-is that you again Don'tcha know that warmth and devotion have passed as a trend Jesus is knocking but don't let him in He might come like a thief and steal away your sin I'm all right Nothing is bothering me I'm just trying to keep the weight Of this world from dawning on me
