I rolled out this morning
|
Kids had the mornin' news show on
|
Bryant Gumbel was talkin' 'bout the fighting in Lebanon
|
Some senator was squawkin' 'bout the bad economy
|
It's gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy
|
|
There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band
|
One more sad story's one more than I can stand
|
Just once how I'd like to see the headline say
|
"Not much to print today, can't find nothin' bad to say", because
|
|
Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
|
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down
|
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
|
We sure could use a little good news today
|
|
I'll come home this evenin'
|
I'll bet that the news will be the same
|
Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane
|
How I wanna hear the anchor man talk about a county fair
|
And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care
|
Whoa, tell me
|
|
Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today
|
And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play
|
And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA
|
We sure could use a little good news today
|
|
Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
|
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down
|
FADE
|
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
|
We sure could use a little good news today
