lyrics

Blizzard warning in New England
Did meteorite kill man?
2 dead after Mardi Gras parade
War over Wall Street escalates
I read it all in just one day

Broncos win all-time ugly Super Bowl
Earth, Wind & Fire founder dies at 74
Leopard mauls 3 at school
Can daily text message help you?
I read it all before one hour was through

2 die sledding on Olympic track
Photos reveal what’s in birth bags
Louisville bans its basketball team
Beyonce’s new video controversy
I read it all before one minute was complete

Why can’t we just kill all mosquitoes?
Oil prices sink; Dow follows
Voice of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck dies
Star football player turns down full ride
I read it all while one second flew by

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
