lyrics

The moment everyone is talking about
Officer shot at Michigan courthouse
Poll: Charge Clinton, most say
Starbucks baristas get big raise
I read it all in just one day

What the heck is Pokémon Go?
Will Japan end pacifism after vote?
If you don't believe white privilege is real...
Bullfighter gored to death on live TV
I read it all before one hour was complete

GOP poised to endorse border wall
Aerosmith guitarist taken to hospital
What to do if someone opens fire
Country singer's traffic stop advice
I read it all while one minute flew by

Little boy consoles crying adult fan
Elon Musk teases new master plan
Supermassive black hole eats passing star
Inmates break out ... to save guard
I read it all in one second so far

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
