Steel Woods, The - Old News Lyrics






You can hate all the others
Because they hate you
They hate the thought of you hating them too
We can scream it all out
Till we're red white or blue
But I'd hate to think
That thinking is old news
Old news

We can cut it in half
Throw rocks in the streets
Let wild eyes laugh
When some disagree
We can burn it all down
On our grandpa's TV
Or quit pointing f‌ingers
And roll up our sleeves

And pray for miss liberty
And the crack in her bell
There's a tear in her eye
But her arm hasn't fell
Yet the weight of that torch
It depends on the trail
The book that we write
And the stories we'll tell

Cause I'd hate to think
That you think I hate you
And I hate the thought of you hating me too
So let's hash it all out
Till we're red white and blue
Cause I'd hate to think
That thinking is old news
Old news

So let's sing for miss liberty
And the crack in her bell
There's a tear in her eye
But her arm hasn't fell
Yet the weight of that torch
Comes with blood that's been spilled
A book of blank pages
Waiting to be f‌illed with how

I'd hate to think
That you think I'd hate
You and I hate the thought of you hating me too
So let's hash it all out
Till we're red white and blue
Cause I'd hate to think
That thinking is old news
Old news
Old news

  1. R.... L....

    ...today, there is a tear in her eye...

  2. K.... S....

    No band this day in time better all of there music is gold silver and platinum amazing band

  3. s.... ....

    Some words of tough love from Nashville to the United States of America!

  4. r.... ....

    WOW! This songs message could get all of us pulling the same direction if it was formated in all the different musical genres. .... (and played on the radio daily!)

  5. R.... P....

    TOP SHELVE

  6. S.... K....

    Best song EVER in these troubled times, Please spread it around, caint hurt

    S.... K....

    troubled times in America is just getting started.

  7. W.... L....

    We have it all in our Country. You must visit Poland. Old News would hit straight to point here. And by the way, I'm not the only one, who discovered Your music in Poland. Thank You, Guys!

  8. D.... H....

    I like this song.
    ✌😎

  9. L.... M....

    Love the message behind this song. As divided as our country is right now we need a song that speaks for ALL Americans of all races and creeds. Great job Steel Woods.

  10. A.... ....

    I’ve known about y’all since 2017. Just now found this album and it’s talking to my heart.
    My wife left me, and I’m royally fucked up. But god damn thank you for the music.

  11. F.... s....

    All of America needs to hear this song and its message

    F.... s....

    i agree

    F.... s....

    Just told my wife the same thing . Stop the hate ....

  12. M.... ....

    What a phenomenal song writing craft Wes has. The turn of phrase from red white OR blue to red white AND blue is simply brilliant. Tons of respect for this awesome band.

  13. R.... M....

    Add a suggestion that freedom is a natural real event

    R.... M....

    freedom is real but comes at a cost of lives to get it and keep it that's a real and natural event....

  14. D.... S....

    A true modern day classic! With so much division in our great country, this truly is a great anthem of peace and unity!

  15. R.... R....

    well done man

  16. D.... a....

    Perfect country rock on strong American culture and values..... well done boys.

  17. T.... W....

    Love blasting this song on my way to school

  18. P.... B....

    Saw yall this past sat in new Orleans , yall were awesome!!!!! Gained a new fan

  19. K.... S....

    One can't imagine.
    Till one sees them.

    K.... S....

    Yasssss I went to my first concert last weekend. They where sooooo goood.

  20. T.... C....

    I am not offer you a fucking thing here, but a chance to stand as a freeman in a world of liars and cheats!

  21. N.... L....

    They opened for Cody Jinks last night in Mankato, Minnesota. I had the pleasure of sitting in front of some folks that already knew their music. Incredibly impressed. I'll tell ya something, see them live. A studio recording doesn't do them justice. && the base player kinda resembles Sturgill Simpson, so there's that.

    N.... L....

    I was there for the Sunday night show, they gave us a good hour, I could have used an hour more. Would see again!!

    N.... L....

    That's some line-up there :)

  22. R.... R....

    My new favorite song!!!
    Unbelievable..

  23. S.... B....

    We are so beyond this now. Too little too late.

  24. S.... B....

    This sounds message is delivered in futility. Makes the sadness of the story even more profound. These wounds will not heal for a long time if ever. Balkanization everyday looks more and more likely.

  25. J.... S....

    i love yall!

  26. A.... R....

    Nice!!!!!!!

  27. K.... M....

    I saw you guys play this at the Oprey tonight. It was one of the best moments I’ve experienced in some time. The whole crowd felt this song. It was so timely in the aftermath of the government shutdown. I’m sure there were differing opinions about things throughout the whole audience but for a few minutes, we all remembered we are in this together. It was the kind of patriotic thinking/feeling I’ve needed so much lately. Thank you for this moment.

    K.... M....

    Was there too. Great moment!!

  28. D.... T....

    You guys just keep churning out amazing songs. Love it! Will you ever hv a tour stop near MD, VA, DEL, SOUTH PA AREA? My wife and friends really want to hear you live and experience the emotions.

  29. F.... A....

    Amazing!! This Song It so relaxing....

  30. k.... ....

    i lov this band

  31. M.... M....

    respect from russia

  32. t.... o....

    Found this band by accident. THIS IS OUTLAW COUNTRY every single song is great it's tough, gritty, moving, emotional, strong. It's the steel woods🤘

    t.... o....

    me to by accident or was it an accident? troy ostrom i agree with how you describe the music of the steel woods music its me in a nutshell its how my hart and mind is but sometimes i get off track and hear all bull crap with politics and i get so mad at that stuff.then comes along this band . I BELIEVE I HAVE AN ANGEL.

  33. M.... M....

    I'm a firm believer in what is known here as "outlaw" country..... I started listening to whiskey meyers, cody jinks, jamey johnson, and Tyler Childers..... My dad turned me on to these guy and I have to say they're all I listen to now.... I cant wait to see them live..... This is what real country music should always sound like

    M.... M....

    yep listen to your pops

  34. r.... d....

    Great song, this is the message that needs to be heard

  35. R.... S....

    Wow!! I'm speechless. See ya again soon boys.

  36. A.... B....

    Stumbled on this by accident. Thank God.

    A.... B....

    me to brother THANK GOD. stuff happends for a reason.

  37. W.... S....

    I dont say this a lot, but *wow* ...This is just amazing.

  38. L.... L....

    Perfect time for this song and perfect song. We’re all Americans!
    🇺🇸

    L.... L....

    perfect time for this no doubt i agree with you. but i will say alot of us arent acting like Americans that love this country just look at the news.what i see on media stuff is sickening nowadays.I wish i could agree with you we're all Americans .nope we have so much divide between us thanks to our news media and the Democrat party.this song is awesome but it's a little too late I hope i am wrong.....

  39. J.... S....

    Once again

  40. G.... J....

    Killed it in GRAND RAPIDS!

  41. L.... R....

    I just saw this song preformed live tonight in Grand Rapids Michigan. Beautiful words and the feeling is spot on. Thank you!!!

    L.... R....

    We were there too. Cody was great and enjoyed it, but they stole the show for me! So much soul/power in their set.

  42. j.... y....

    I hope everyone who listens to this song really hears the words in it and the meaning behind the song.

  43. b.... ....

    This guy’s voice in just breathtaking.

  44. P.... G....

    thanks guys...for trying to keep it together during tough times................Really!

  45. D.... G....

    You can hate all the others because they hate you
    They hate the thought of you hating them too
    We could scream it all out til we're red, white, or blue
    But I'd hate to think that thinking is old news

    We could cut it in half, throw rocks in the street
    Let wild eyes laugh, when some disagree
    We could burn it all down on our grandpa's tv
    Or quit pointing fingers and roll up our sleeves

    And pray for miss liberty and the crack in her bell,
    There's a tear in her eye, but her arm hasn't fell
    Yet the weight of that torch; it depends on the trail
    The book that we write and the stories we'll tell

    Cause I'd hate to think that you think I hate you
    And I hate the thought of you hating me too
    So let's hash it out 'til we're red white and blue
    Cause I'd hate to think that thinking is old news

    So let's sing for miss liberty, and the crack in her bell
    There's a tear in her eye but her arm hasn't fell
    Yet the weight of that torch
    Comes with blood that's been spilled
    A book of blank pages waiting to be filled

    With how I hate to think that you think I hate you
    And I hate the thought of you hating me too
    So let's hash it all out til we're red, white, and blue
    Cause I'd hate to think that thinking is old news

    (apologies for any errors folks - much love and respect from Australia)

    D.... G....

    this should be the national anthem

  46. w.... ....
