C                                          F                 G
I rolled out this morning the kids had the morning news show on
C                                              Am
Bryant Gumbel was talking bout the fighting in Lebanon
F                                         C
Some senator was sqauwking 'bout the bad economy
               Am                                 F       G 
It's gonna get worse you see, we need a change of policy


C                            F              G
There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band
C                                  Am
One more sad story's one more than I can stand
F                                 C
Just once how I'd like to see the headline say 
            Am                              F            G
Not much to print today, Can't find nothing bad to say because


Chorus 1:
C                                   F                  G
Nobody robbed a liqour store on the lower part of town
C                            F                    G
Nobody OD'ed nobody burned a single building down
C                              F                  Dm
Nobody fired a shot in anger nobody had to die in vain
   C                G                  C
We sure could use a little good news today

Nobody was assassinated in the whole third world today
and in the streets of Ireland all the children had - to do was play
and everybody loves everybody in the good old U.S.A
