Live at Five and CNN[00:00:00]

Keep us all abreast[00:00:04]

Of breaking stories that can tend[00:00:06]

To make us anxious and depressed [00:00:09]

Problems with no answers[00:00:12]

Hang on like some chronic cough [00:00:15]

And every day some brand new issue[00:00:18]

Rears it's head to piss you off [00:00:22]

Bad guys win [00:00:30]

Optimism's wearing thin [00:00:33]

Things are spinning out of control [00:00:38]

Cynicism's all the fad [00:00:44]

World events could make us mad[00:00:49]

As hatters [00:00:51]

Almost every day[00:00:56]

Some underpinning slips away [00:01:00]

These aren't laughing matters [00:01:06]

Time bombs tick [00:01:13]

People keep on getting sick [00:01:17]

And a nickel's not worth a cent [00:01:21]

Widckedness and greed abound [00:01:28]

Just as peace is gaining ground[00:01:32]

It shatters [00:01:35]

Hate is here to stay [00:01:40]

And justince goes to those who pay [00:01:43]

Friend these aren't laughing matters [00:01:49]

The truth is scarrier by far[00:01:55]

Than anything that Stephen King could write [00:02:04]

The stories in the paper are[00:02:11]

The daily small decline and fall[00:02:20]

Spelled out in black and white [00:02:24]

Oh what to do what to do [00:02:30]

How to take a brighter view[00:02:37]

When your noodle's totally fried [00:02:41]

Human spriits need to be[00:02:48]

Leavened by a little levity [00:02:52]

So take those blues[00:02:56]

And bounce them off the wall [00:02:58]

Keep your humor please [00:03:03]

'Cause don't you know it times like these that[00:03:08]

Laughing matters most of all[00:03:16]
