Just Can't Comprehend the News

Keith Michael Roberts, copyright 2004 - .

If you listen real hard you can hear the angels sing along.
The song will shake you down to your shoes.
But the mystery and the majesty
and the memory of the song,
it just might leave you with the blues,
when you just can't comprehend the news.

Back in 69 we all came and went away.
We tuned in, turned on and got high.
Thought we would change the world,
we all thought we'd get away.
We never figured we would lose.
Now I just can't comprehend the news.

But that was then and here and now there's nothing left to say.
Not much has really changed here but the dues.
Our kids still die in camouflage
twelve thousand miles away
for agendas and revenues.
And I just can't comprehend the news.

But if you listen real hard you can hear the angels sing along.
The song will shake you down to your shoes.
But the mystery and the majesty
and the memory of the song,
just might leave you with the blues,
when you just can't comprehend the news.
