Lyrics
What becomes of the headlines
That shake us down to our knees
And leave us saddened and helpless
By all the trouble we see
It's news stacked up in a corner
Its corners yellow and torn
And good intentions turn misty
In the back of my mind
Until the headlines return
I read in yesterday's paper
About a dreaded disease
A photo captioned of men with cocktails
At a summit for peace
While every working man questions
And every woman knows this
That a mother's love in every child's heart
Is why we even exist
Now the kids in their paper sailor hats
March 'round the living room floor
The seams are folded on the scene
Of some unending war
Well it could go unnoticed
And the children they must play
Does the past make a difference
In the news we hear today
Anyway
The streets are empty at daybreak
The paper lays on the lawn
With yesterday's news repeated
Though we know yesterday's gone
But there's a lesson for learning
And if we listen we'll see
That tomorrow's paper may be good to unfold
Whatever's left to believe
Now the kids in their paper sailor hats
March 'round the living room floor
The seams are folded on the scene
Of some unending war
Well it could go unnoticed
And the children they must play
Does the past make a difference
In the news we hear today
Anyway
