I rolled out this morning
                  C                D
The kids had the mornin' news show on
G                                         Em
Newscaster talkin' 'bout the fighting in Lebanon
 C                                             G
And some senator was squawkin' 'bout the bad economy
                Em
It's gonna get worse you see,
                        C    D
Oh we need a change in policy


VERSE:
G                            C               D
There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band
G                                  Em
One more sad story's one more than I can stand
C                                   G
Just once how I'd like to see the headline say
              Em
"Not much to print today,
                    C          D
Can't find nothin' bad to say",  because


CHORUS:
G                                    C             D
Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
G                              C               D
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down
G                                C                  Am
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
    G                D                  G
We sure could use a little good news today


VERSE:
   G
I come home this evenin'
                  C                D
I'll bet the the news will be the same
G                                   Em
Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane
C                                             G
 I want to hear their anchorman talk about a county fair
                   Em
And how we cleaned up the air,
                C
How everybody learned to care
 D
Whoa, tell me


CHORUS:
G                                 C                  D
 Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today
 G                                               C             D
And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play
 G                                    C          Am
And everybody loves everybody in the good old U S A
    G                D                  G
We sure could use a little good news today

G                                C                 Am
