[Steppenwolf - Give Me News I Can Use lyrics]
Good evening one and all, this is channel 24
Bringing you the latest news around the world
Down in Florida today
Someone tried to get away
When he commandeered the train
At Disney World
Until noon it was a standoff
But then he lost his luck
When someone shot him down
Dressed up like Donald Duck
It was a midget G man
And we're sorry that we could
Not show it live but we'll have film of the
Shooting here at five
Give me some news I can use
Let me smile for a while
For the madness has taken it's toll
Give me some news I can use
Just a break for the sake
Of my mind which is losing control
From Washington today
Called a senator to say
That our future has been
Cancelled 'cause we're broke
We called the white house without
End finally reached the President
Says he don't know if it's
Real or just a joke
And last night at the playoffs
Things got pretty grim
They crucified the referee and tore
Him limb from limb
Ah, you should have been there
And in the weather
There's a hurricane in sight
And that's the way it is with us tonight
Give me some news I can use
Let me smile for a while
For the madness has taken it's toll
Give me some news I can use
Just a break for the sake
Of my mind which is losing control
Seems like every single day another
Mind gets blown away
And the world goes just a little more insane
I got problems of my own
Tryin' to keep my house and home
And I sure could stand
Some cheerful news again
My agent called to tell me
My record's on the chart
It's number 90 with an anchor
I never said that it was art
I gotta eat too, ya know
And my buddy who still owes me for his bail
He says, "Don't worry
Your check is in the mail"
Give me some news I can use
Let me smile for a while
For the madness has taken it's toll
Give me some news I can use
Just a break for the sake
Of my mind which is losing control
Bringing you the latest news around the world
Down in Florida today
Someone tried to get away

Until noon it was a standoff
But then he lost his luck
When someone shot him down
Dressed up like Donald Duck

And we're sorry that we could
Not show it live but we'll have film of the

Let me smile for a while
For the madness has taken it's toll
Give me some news I can use
