A Little Good News

I rolled out this morning
Kids had the morning news show on
Bryant Gumbel was talking about
The fighting in Lebanon
Some senator was squawking about
The bad economy
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
Nobody robbed a liquor store
On the lower part of town
Nobody OD'd nobody burned a
Single building 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 evening
I'll 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
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
And 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'd nobody burned a
Single building down
Nobody fired a shot in anger
Nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a
Little good news today
