I rolled out this morning, kids had the morning news show on
Bryant Gumble was talking 'bout the fighting in Jerusalem
Some senator was squawking 'bout the bad economy
It's gonna get worse you see, we need to change a policy

There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band
One more sad story's one more then I can stand
Just once how I'd like to see the headline say
Not much to print today, can't find nothing bad to say

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single building down
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
I sure could use a little good news today

I'll come home this evening I bet that the news'll be the same
Somebody takes a hostage somebody steels a plane
How I wanna hear the anchorman talk about a county fair
And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care because

Nobody was assassinated in the whole good world today
And in the streets of Ireland all the children had to do was play
And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA
I sure could use a little good news today

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single building down
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
I sure could use a little good news today

And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA
I sure could use a little good news today
