I rolled out this morning the kids had the morning news show on
Bryant Gumbel was talking bout the fighting in lebanon
Some senator was squwking 'bout the bad e-con-o-my
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 nothing bad to say
because
Chorus 1
Nobody robbed a liqour store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed nobody burned a single building down
Nobody fired a shot in anger no-body had to die in vain
we sure could use a little good news to-day
I'll come home this evenin' I 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,
Oh tell me
Chours 2
Nobody was assasinated 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 U.S.A
we sure could use a little good news today
Chorus 1
