Live at Five and CNN |
| [00:04.01] |
Keep us all abreast |
| [00:06.63] |
Of breaking stories that can tend |
| [00:09.95] |
To make us anxious and depressed |
| [00:12.94] |
Problems with no answers |
| [00:15.51] |
Hang on like some chronic cough |
| [00:18.64] |
And every day some brand new issue |
| [00:22.41] |
Rears it's head to piss you off |
| [00:30.21] |
Bad guys win |
| [00:33.83] |
Optimism's wearing thin |
| [00:38.25] |
Things are spinning out of control |
| [00:44.39] |
Cynicism's all the fad |
| [00:49.07] |
World events could make us mad |
| [00:51.78] |
As hatters |
| [00:56.51] |
Almost every day |
| [01:00.02] |
Some underpinning slips away |
| [01:06.29] |
These aren't laughing matters |
| [01:13.33] |
Time bombs tick |
| [01:17.35] |
People keep on getting sick |
| [01:21.65] |
And a nickel's not worth a cent |
| [01:28.21] |
Widckedness and greed abound |
| [01:32.27] |
Just as peace is gaining ground |
| [01:35.61] |
It shatters |
| [01:40.24] |
Hate is here to stay |
| [01:43.90] |
And justince goes to those who pay |
| [01:49.59] |
Friend these aren't laughing matters |
| [01:55.82] |
The truth is scarrier by far |
| [02:04.02] |
Than anything that Stephen King could write |
| [02:11.76] |
The stories in the paper are |
| [02:20.07] |
The daily small decline and fall |
| [02:24.20] |
Spelled out in black and white |
| [02:30.29] |
Oh what to do what to do |
| [02:37.41] |
How to take a brighter view |
| [02:41.90] |
When your noodle's totally fried |
| [02:48.88] |
Human spriits need to be |
| [02:52.45] |
Leavened by a little levity |
| [02:56.31] |
So take those blues |
| [02:58.47] |
And bounce them off the wall |
| [03:03.83] |
Keep your humor please |
| [03:08.69] |
'Cause don't you know it times like these that |
| [03:16.60] |
Laughing matters most of all |
