	Story Behind the Song Seems like everywhere you look, it's horror. A companion piece to "Linda Barry". Written after seeing a story in our local paper about a hammer attack in a nearby town. Eek. Inspired by real postcards from Diane. Lyrics Postcards From Diane ©2001 Steve Snelling I threw the morning paper on the floor I couldn't stand to read about another dirty war For nothing more than politics and politicians' greed Now postcards from Diane are all I ever read They quench my thirst for knowledge and no one ever bleeds Unless the kids have bumped their heads or skinned their roughhouse knees I tossed my Goddam TV in the brush They showed the broken bodies where the students' dreams were crushed Beneath the tanks for asking more than crusts of bread and such Now postcards from Diane are all I ever touch Postcards from Diane - I'll tell you what they're worth They remind me of a simpler world where no one ever hurts 'Cept broken hearts and accidents or mothers giving birth I put my magazines in big brown box The poetries of horror have brought me close to shock And I'm wondering in futility just what the sufferin's for Now postcards from Diane - that and nothing more Postcards from Diane are all I ever read Where the only battle raging is with Dennis and the weeds And the only fires burning are the ones on River Street I threw the morning paper on the floor I just can't stand to read about another dirty war And how can people cotton to a corporation's greed Postcards from Diane are all I ever read They quench my thirst for knowledge and no one ever bleeds Unless the kids have bumped their heads or skinned their roughhouse knees
