Bad News Blues

Bad news on my TV screen
Bad news on the magazines
Bad news on the newspaper
Bad news on the elevator
Bad news on the street bad news in my car
Bad news under my feet bad news at the bar
All over my clothes under my head
On the radio in the laundromat
Hanging in the air laying on the ground
Walking up the stairs bad news all around

No matter where I go I can't get away from it
Don't you know? I'm knee deep in it
Who's gonna believe liars and lunatics?
Fools and thieves and clowns and hypocrites
Gluttony and greed
And that ain't the worst of it
All the news you could read
All the news is filled to print yeah

Bad news on my left bad news on my right
Bad news in the morning bad news at night
In my 'frigerator bad news on my sink
On my typewriter bad news in my drink
Bad news on the walls all over the floor
Down the hall knocking at the door
Bad news in my mail follow me home
Bad news on my trail bad news on my phone

No matter where I go I can't
Seem to get away from it don't you know
Don't you know? I'm knee deep in it
Who's gonna believe liars and lunatics?
Fools and thieves and clowns and hypocrites
Gluttony and greed
And that ain't the worst of it
All the news you could read
All the news is filled to print
