lyrics

Michael Jordan says I can't stay silent
Sanders says Clinton must be president
Crisis on London's waterways
Girl, 14, dies after second rape
I read it all in just one day

U.S. Navy tests new warship
Man flies off waterslide onto rocky cliff
Why Michelle Obama won the night
These decaying flowers won't die
I read it all while one hour flew by

19 killed in Japan knife attack
Kids stripped, assaulted, tear-gassed
Trump blasts Clinton on email leak
How dogs can sniff out diabetes
I read it all before one minute was complete

How can parents forget a child in a car?
Woman mauled to death by tiger
Booker to Trump: 'I love you'
Why Marissa Mayer couldn't save Yahoo
I read it all before on 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
