"The News"
Disease of the heart,
Prices get higher,
Porno called art,
and your Ford is on fire.
Sniffing of glue,
And food that is bad for you,
Chickens with flu,
And cows that are mad for you.
Heating oil,
Global warming,
Depleted soil,
And tropical storming.
Acid rain,
Crashing planes,
Crack cocaine,
And shooting pains
New commies and predators
Tsunamis and senators
Bombs that are nuclear,
How high the gas is,
Bombs that are "nucular",
Destruction of masses.
Air pollution, prostitution,
And how to interpret the Constitution
Kids grades,
Terrorist raids,
and AIDS
The hopeless and the hopers.
The homeless and the dopers
Take some pills,
Learn new skills,
Pay your bills,
And write your wills.
No wonder we’ve got the blues.
It’s
THE NEWS!
