lyrics

Does swaddling raise risk of SIDS?
Cruz not ruling out getting back in
No death penalty in Benghazi case
Clinton, Trump neck and neck in key states
I read it all in just one day

Boy faces hate crime charge
Oxygen detected high above Mars
Fans attack opposing team's bus
Rubio punts on endorsing Trump
I read it all before one hour was up

Assailant stabs 4 at mall, home
Driver hit by flying metal on road
Longtime TV dad dies
Girl, 11, scalped on carnival ride
I read it all while on minute flew by

Puerto Rico's unseen crisis
Is Janet Jackson too old for this?
What's El Chapo's real strategy?
Stoned drivers cause rise in fatalities
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
