Laughing Matters |
| Live at five and CNN |
| Keep us all abreast |
| Of breaking stories that can tend |
| To make us anxious and depressed |
| Problems with no answers |
| Hang on like somechronic cough |
| And every day some brand new issue |
| Rears it’s head to piss you off |
| Bad guys win |
| Optimism’s wearing thin |
| Things are spinning out of control |
| Cynicism’s all the fad |
| World evens could make us mad |
| As hatters |
| Almost every day |
| Some underpinning slips away |
| These aren’t laughing matters |
| Time bombs tick |
| People keep on getting sick |
| And a nickel’s not worth a cent |
| Wickedness and greed abound |
| Just as peace is gaining ground |
| It shatters |
| Hate is here to stay |
| And justice goes to those who pay |
| Friend, these aren’t laughing matters |
| The truth is scarier by far |
| Than anything that Stephen King could write |
| The stories in the paper are |
| The daily small decline and fall |
| Spelled out in black and white |
| Oh, what to do, what to do? |
| How to take a brighter view |
| When your noodle’s totally fried |
| Human spirits need to be Leavened by a little levity |
| So take those blues |
| And bounce them off the wall |
| Keep your humor please |
| 'Cause don’t you know it’s times like these that |
| Laughing matters most of all |
