lyrics

Georgia governor says no
The milkshake that almost killed Castro
Man arrested for not returning VHS tape
Japan kills 200 pregnant whales
I read it all in just one day

Big star saves swimmers at beach
Cue the fake outrage about Netflix speeds
Giant peak discovered on alien moon
Weekend brings a celeb baby boom
I read it all before one hour was through

Chicago mayor picks top cop
Your next hotel may be staffed by robots
This is your brain on Trump
Parents ruin kids’ Easter egg hunt
I read it all before one minute was up

See why Ben Affleck is so sad
‘It’s mostly about living closer to the land’
Volcano spews ash 20K feet high
Bouncy castle blown away; girl dies
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
