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
