Rootin Tootin Forget the News!



Terrible news

You can’t snooze

Gives you the blues

All that terrible news.


What’s wrong with those dudes

Who love to give out terrible news

That makes everyone feel so blue

Tell us the world is splitting in two.


It’s what the people want to hear?!

Who? Those people who always sneer

When any goodness draws near

Bad news they all jeer?!


Need to know what’s happening

So we can do something?

When there is never anything

That seems to be changing?


War war war

Who needs to know anymore

People die they live no more

All because of political whores

Ignoring the people for ever more.


Violence in the streets

Who does that info please

It surely isn’t me

Doesn’t make me feel happy

All that just makes me feel crappy.


Election news stays the same

Endless game there is no change

Education, Medicare, Social Security

Poverty, war, immigration, tax rates

Every election always the same game

Politicians working to continue their pay

Get a new job of doing nothing all day.


Who really needs to hear what they say

When they are all really the same

And they’re all totally lame

Keep the people in endless pain

Decades go by without any gains

Who needs to know about those pointless games.


Rich and wealthy news of dukes

Living the filthy rich life and feeling blue

Living life with nothing important to do

Act out to see their name in the news

Don’t need to know the news of their ridiculous blues.


If we lived life without the news

Without the terrible shout of blues

Telling us the horrible and crude

Life would be better for me and you.


Walk through life everyday

Without thoughts of a violent day

Without the news of ridiculous rich play

Or politics that suck and stay the same

No thought that humanity is headed for flames.


That’s a much better life game

So turn off the news and have nothing to say

About the atrocities that happen in the world everday

That is a better way

To play

Everyday.


And don’t worry a day

About whether you’ll pay

For not watching the news everyday

If you see everyone running away

Grab your gun and you’ll be ok

That’s the American way.
