When you wake up in the morning
Do you watch CNN
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 you 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 while in the back of your mind
How will this world survive
And nobody knows nothin'
Nobody ever did
Well we can talk real load and act real smart
But who we tryin' to kid
'Cause everybody is an expert
When they're bloggin' the news
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 (turn it off)
Turn off CNN (turn it off)
Turn off CNN (turn it off)
Turn off CNN (turn it off)
Ya 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 (turn it off)
Turn off CNN (turn it off)
Turn off CNN (turn it off)
Turn off CNN (turn it off)
(gimmie that remote)
Turn it off!
