Generate meaning
1
Live at Five and CNN
2
keep us all abreast
3
of breaking stories that can tend
4
to make us anxious and depressed.
5
Problems with no answers
6
hang on like some chronic cough.
7
And every day some brand new issue
8
rears it's head to piss you off.
9
Bad guys win.
10
Optimism's wearing thin.
11
Things are spinning out of control.
12
Cynicism's all the fad.
13
World events could make us mad
14
as hatters.
15
Almost every day
16
some underpinning slips away.
17
These aren't laughing matters.
18
Time bombs tick.
19
People keep on getting sick.
20
And a nickel's not worth a cent.
21
Widckedness and greed abound.
22
Just as peace is gaining ground
23
it shatters.
24
Hate is here to stay,
25
and justince goes to those who pay.
26
Friend, these aren't laughing matters.
27
The truth is scarrier by far
28
than anything that Stephen King could write.
29
The stories in the paper are
30
the daily small decline and fall
31
spelled out in black and white.
32
Oh, what to do, what to do?
33
how to take a brighter view
34
when your noodle's totally fried.
35
Human spriits need to be
36
leavened by a little levity.
37
So take those blues
38
and bounce them off the wall.
39
Keep your humor please,
40
'cause don't you know it times like these that
41
laughing matters most of all.
