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
'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 nothing bad to say

Because 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
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
And how we cleaned up the air
How everybody learned to care
Whoa, tell me

Nobody was a__assinated
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'ed, 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
