A Little Good News
I rolled out this morning
Kids had the morning news show on
Bryant Gumbel was talkin' bout the fighting in Lebanon
Some Senator was squawkin' 'bout the bad economy
It's gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy

There's a local paper rolled up in arubber band
One more sad story's one more than I can stand
Just once I'd to see the headline say
"Not much to print today, can't find nothin' 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 evenin'
I'll bet the news will be the same
Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane
How I want to hear the anchorman talk about a county fair
And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care
Whoa, tell me

Nobody was assassinated in te whole Third World today
And in 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
