lyrics

China buying $90 billion gold vault
Hard punch lands in big Major League brawl
Trump: 'I'm not stupid, okay?'
Man falls 38 feet when glass ceiling breaks
I read it all in just one day

Student art fools 'Antiques Roadshow'
Shark bites woman's arm and won't let go
Top U.S. job-killing companies
Hollywood needs to drop the bleach
I read it all before one hour was complete

First U.S. penis transplant
ISIS claims deadly attack on gas plant
Olympians to get 'Zika-proof' condoms
Third-party run would be 'suicide mission'
I read it all before one minute was done

Dog checks himself into doggy day care
High court punts on Obamacare
Bomb scare blamed on training device
Musician collapses on stage, 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
