Words and music by John Kay      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      © 1977 Rambunctious Music    ASCAP
