lyrics

Punxsutawny Phil: Friend of foe?
UK to modify human embryos
Teen 'made up' migrant gang rape
Fitbit captures moment heart breaks
I read it all in just one day

Edison LSC fires principal
The agony of Iowa's evangelicals
How much should Zika worry you?
Trump's moment of truth
I read it all before one hour was through

Barbie is a role model, sort of. Here's why.
Teen drank racing fuel, then died
Ancient queen's doomsday prediction
Farm in a box generates $15,000
I read it all before one minute was done

10 million dollar mega-yacht sinks
10 thousand migrant children may be missing
'The cleanest air you will breath'
What if rent and food were free?
I read it all before one second was complete

Well, 24 hours in a day ain't much
And after 60 minutes an hour's used up
The second hand don't take too long
To tick and tock 'til a minute's gone

So you gotta be sure you ain't a-wasting your time
Reading too many headlines
Cause chances are when a new day comes
You'll just be looking at a thousand more new ones
