lyrics

Pi Day: What you need to know
Chain restaurant under fire for racist photo
Crazy things people bring on planes
Signs of aging can be a pain …
I read it all in just one day

Gunmen attack hotels; 16 dead
Groovy origins of the waterbed
The truth about daylight saving time
Teacher awarded $1M prize
I read it all while one hour flew by

Their 2-year-old boy is a Beyonce superfan
Who is Tom Holland, the new Spider-Man?
Inventor’s ‘Iron Man’-like diving suit
Sea level rise forces tribe to move
I read it all before one minute was through

Longboarder tumbles over cliff
The world’s most expensive city is …
How to build a time machine
The healing power of llama therapy
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
