lyrics

Everything changes March 1
Tehran hipsters: ‘We have fun’
Trump stumbles on KKK
2 convicted of using sex slaves
I read it all in just one day

Airports on high terror alert
Huge dam risks catastrophic failure
Where chimpanzees go to retire
Captain America eye hunts pedophiles
I read it all while one hour flew by

The 2016 Oscars winners list
Chris Rock says Hollywood is racist
Trump defends Mussolini tweet
Boy’s arm stuck in vending machine
I read it all before one minute was complete

Why you were forced to square dance
Trump University is a scam
‘Female Viagra’ gets mixed reviews
Report: NFL investigates Gronk’s cruise
I read it all before one second was through

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
