Good evening one and all, this is channel 24
|
Bringing you the latest news around the world
|
Down in Florida today, someone tried to get away
|
When he commandeered the train at Disney World
|
Until noon it was a standoff, but then he lost his luck
|
When someone shot him down, dressed up like Donald Duck
|
It was a midget G-man
|
And we're sorry that we could not show it live
|
But we'll have film of the shooting here at five
|
|
Give me some news I can use, let me smile for a while
|
For the madness has taken it's toll
|
Give me some news I can use, just a break for the sake
|
Of my mind which is losing control
|
|
From Washington today, called a senator to say
|
That our future has been cancelled 'cause we're broke
|
We called the white house without end finally reached the President
|
Says he don't know if it's real or just a joke
|
And last night at the playoffs, things got pretty grim
|
They crucified the referee and tore him limb from limb
|
Ah, you should have been there
|
And in the weather, there's a hurricane in sight
|
And that's the way it is with us tonight
|
|
Give me some news I can use, let me smile for a while
|
For the madness has taken it's toll
|
Give me some news I can use, just a break for the sake
|
Of my mind which is losing control
|
|
Seems like every single day another mind gets blown away
|
And the world goes just a little more insane
|
I got problems of my own, tryin' to keep my house and home
|
And I sure could stand some cheerful news again
|
My agent called to tell me my record's on the chart
|
It's number 90 with an anchor, I never said that it was art
|
I gotta eat too, ya know
|
And my buddy who still owes me for his bail
|
He says, "don't worry, your check is in the mail"
|
|
Give me some news I can use, let me smile for a while
|
For the madness has taken it's toll
|
Give me some news I can use, just a break for the sake
|
Of my mind which is losing control
|
