lyrics

Fiery exchange on Brexit
Black-white $$ disparity persists
Pope makes historic apology to gays
Giant sculptures on enchanted highway
I read it all in just one day

Who (or what) is Kanye in bed with?
Brain-eating amoeba kills teen after church trip
Rapper slain in broad daylight
Amtrak train hits minivan, killing 5
I read it all while one hour flew by

Texas abortion law struck down
L.A.'s hidden whale warehouse
Naked restaurant opens its doors
Social Security to run dry by 2034
I read it all before one minute was no more

Workplace benefits that are fading away
World's largest instrument is in a cave
Why some people aren't tempted to cheat
50 Cent arrested and released
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
