The News

Sometimes I believe that

The whole world's gone mad.

Sometimes I think it's just me.

I look at what's happening

All over the globe

And I just can't believe what I see.

 

It's not just those things

That occur far away in a land

I can't even pronounce.

More frightful by far

Is the neighborhood news;

The scandal the newsmen announce.

 

A child caught in cross fire;

An innocent victim;

Life ended before it begins.

Old folks cheated

And robbed of their savings

By people they thought were their friends.

 

The list is the same

From Maine to Montana,

From Moscow to Kalamazoo.

No wonder at all why we get so depressed

From simply watching the news.
