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
of 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 want to 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
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
Nobody fired
a shot in anger
nobody had to
die in vain
We sure could use
a little good news
today
