lyrics

If you struggle to meditate, try this
Let’s talk about ‘black privilege’
How much can a river take?
Kesha was offfered ‘freedom’ to recant rape claim
I read it all in just one day

The software that predicts your lifespan
Is psychic a victim of her own scam?
Thousands of jellyfish invade beach
Muslim family ordered off flight to D.C.
I read it all before one hour was complete

Abortion laws you don’t hear about
Trump says Kasich should be kicked out
Man shot as he begged for life?
Toxic-waste sites hiding in plain sight
I read it all before one minute flew by

Man shot in street during selfie?
What your taste in music means
Could lasers hide Earth from aliens?
Cheetos cause deforestation
I read it all before one second was done

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
