Lyrics

[00:14.59] I rolled out this morning
[00:17.34] Kids had the mornin' news show on
[00:22.09] Bryant Gumbel was talkin' 'bout the fighting in Lebanon
[00:29.04] Some senator was squawkin' 'bout the bad economy
[00:34.59] It's gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy
[00:42.74] There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band
[00:49.37] One more sad story's one more than I can stand
[00:55.62] Just once how I'd like to see the headline say
[01:01.52] "Not much to print today, can't find nothin' bad to say", because
[01:09.77] Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
[01:16.37] Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down
[01:22.78] Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
[01:29.33] We sure could use a little good news today
[01:46.83] I'll come home this evenin'
[01:48.68] I'll bet that the news will be the same
[01:53.53] Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane
[02:00.28] How I wanna hear the anchor man talk about a county fair
[02:05.83] And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care
[02:12.03] Whoa, tell me
[02:13.63] Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today
[02:20.33] And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play
[02:26.99] And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA
[02:33.39] We sure could use a little good news today
[02:40.77] Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
[02:47.38] Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down
[02:54.34] Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
[03:00.49] We sure could use a little good news today
