Verse 1:
Bm          A
  Blood is a river
         E
Flowing darkly amidst the tangled roots of a tall and shinin' city
Bm               A                     E
  Crazy flowing man tide migrations engorge the big ventricle of heartbroken America
Bm                       A
  So many heaven-hoping hopeful groping breathers
     E
All tap together quietly and desperately in unison
Bm              A            E
  Hey, hey, hey, is anybody listenin'?

Chorus:
                Bm  D  G  A
News from the front
                Bm  D  G  A
News from the front
                 Bm D     G    A
We're livin' in troubled times
         Bm       D         G     A
So many fighting for their lives

Why do the troops despise the news from the front?


Verse 2:
Bm         A
  Ignorance is the root of fear
E
  And fear is the kindling of anger
Bm           A
  War is a bringer of shame
     E
But never has the burden lain so heavily upon the victim
Bm                    A
  Rage and desolation, pain and loneliness
E
  Is it all of it alarmingly familiar?
Bm              E              A
  Hey, hey, hey, silence is a killer


Chorus:
                Bm  D  G  A
News from the front
                Bm  D  G  A
News from the front

Yeah, these are troubled times
         Bm         D       G     A
How many more will have to die
            Bm        D       G        A            Bm   F#
Before the governors can't deny the news from the front?    Yeah!

What is your motivation?
 D                       F#
Take a good look in the mirror

                Bm  D  G  A
News from the front
         Bm       D         G    A
So many fighting for their lives
          Bm        D       G    A
How many more will have to die?
              Bm    D    G     A
