As I sat on the couch
And watched TV
I couldn’t help to grouch
To what I see
All the news channels
Always seem grim
No matter the angle
The good news is slim
They tell many stories
In a variety of ways
And each category
A story to talk about for days
Doesn’t anyone realize
Why they are drawn
We are listening to lies
That’s what’s going on
Most stories are not true
They’re just parts of a whole
By adjusting the view
Confusion starts to role
What story they can find
They can turn it sour
They control people’s minds
With their abusive power
They made heroes look evil
And criminals look clean
And people who are peaceful
Look like they’re cruel and mean
With their dirty tricks
They spread their stories wide
Then with politics
They only support one side
With their many bluffs
They spread dishonest words
I just had enough
Of all the news I heard
Quit telling lies
Stop changing the verse
Don’t they realize
They turn things bad to worse
All the stories they planned
Talking in their booth
What they need to understand
They must tell the truth
Tell us the whole story
With no misleads
Don’t use any theories
Planting bad seeds
There’s more good out there
Focus on them instead
Shine on those who care
And let it be spread
Whenever they’re on TV
Trying to amuse
Between you and me
No news is good news
