Dennis DeYoung - Turn Off CNN Lyrics

Push

When you wake up in the morning
Do you watch CNN?
Oh, do you close your eyes and hold your breath
Then say an Amen?

'cause there's too much information
Runnin' round in your brain
Do we really need to know the facts
Of everyone's pain?

Still you're searchin' for some reason
At the scene of the crime
With people killing people
Everywhere all the time

But then you go about your merry way
'cause baby you're still alive
Wondering all the time in the back of your mind
How will this world survive?

And nobody knows nothin'
Nobody ever did
Well we can talk real loud and act real smart
But who we tryin' to kid

'cause everybody is an expert
When they're bloggin' the news
Oh, Genius after genius
Without any clues

Twenty four hours, seven days a week
Disasters multiply
Staring at the tube, you can barely speak
It makes you wanna cry

Turn off CNN
T-t-turn it off
Turn off CNN
T-t-turn it off
Turn off CNN
T-t-t-turn it off
Turn off CNN

You've got your foreign wars and your global warming
A terror plot or two
Everywhere you look there's a virus forming
By the way your rent is due

Turn off CNN
T-t-turn it off
Turn off CNN
T-t-turn it off
Turn off CNN
T-t-t-turn it off
Turn off CNN
T-t-t-turn it off baby
gimme that remote
TURN IT OFF!
