lyrics

Prince's death: Developments
New Beyonce album stuns Internet
Rust Belt voters: We need big change
China wins big from U.S. trade
I read it all in just one day

Cruz, Kasich team up vs. Trump
Penguins are facing extinction
Who did it and why?
Town's entire police dept. resigns
I read it all while one hour flew by

Man caught 400-pound fish with wrench
NBA star gets technical while on bench
Laundry packet poisonings increase
24 die after eating poison sweets
I read it all before one minute was complete

Russian submarines a big threat?
For pro stair climbers, sky's the limit
Mauled tiger keeper broke rules says zoo
Cuba may clear way for Carnival 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
