Kids had the mornin' news show on 
G                                               Em

It's gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy 
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 head line say  
             Em                              C7M        D7

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town 
G                             C               D

G                                C                  Am7 
Nobody fired a shot in  anger, nobody had to die in vain

We sure could use a little good news to day

G                  C                     D

G                                  Em             D 
Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane 
C                                            C 
How I wanna hear the anchor man talk about a county fair  
                   Em                        C7M           D7
