I rolled out this morning, kids had the morning news show on Bryant Gumble was talking 'bout the fighting in Jerusalem Some senator was squawking 'bout the bad economy It's gonna get worse you see, we need to change a policy There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band One more sad story's one more then I can stand Just once how I'd like to see the headline say Not much to print today, can't find nothing bad to say Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single building down Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain I sure could use a little good news today I'll come home this evening I bet that the news'll be the same
Somebody takes a hostage somebody steels a plane How I wanna hear the anchorman talk about a county fair And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care because Nobody was a**a**inated in the whole good 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 I 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 building down Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain I sure could use a little good news today And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA I sure could use a little good news today
