lyrics

Freed man knew he was innocent
Brazil's lower house: Impeach President
Candidate jokes about gang rape?
Arabic-speaking man taken off plane
I read it all in just one day

Candidates silent on this
Fake Nessie found in Loch Ness
Will court derail immigration?
Huge gator seen chomping smaller one
I read it all before one hour was done

'Boaty McBoatface' wins poll
Where are toxins lurking in your home?
Save lives: Let teens sleep
120-pound dog stuck in tree
I read it all before one minute was complete

Body shaming has got to stop
Obama helps Stephen Curry with his jump shot
Wearable airbag saves lives
What white people say about being white
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
