lyrics

What do you do when your tween stinks?
Coach's name wrong on Super Bowl ring
Shooter laughed in rampage
One-third of world can't see Milky Way
I read it all in just one day

World's most affordable supercar?
America, fight back: visit a gay bar
How long should kids sleep?
Valedictorian shocks in speech
I read it all before one hour was complete

Watch Trump evolve on Muslim ban
Pit bull mix tiptoes around alpha cat
'ALF' actor dies
Victims from all walks of life
I read it all while on minute flew by

London bans 'unrealistic' ads
NFL team is mailing cash to fans
What America's Muslims must do
Watch Anderson Cooper's emotional tribute
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
