[Verse 1]
Bbm                               Eb
Good evening one and all, this is channel 24
         Bbm
Bringing you the latest news around the world
                               Eb
Down in Florida today, someone tried to get away
        Bbm
When he commandeered the train at Disney World

[Pre-Chorus]
     Ab
'Til noon it was a standoff, but then he lost his luck
                                                         Bbm
When someone shot him down, dressed up like Donald Duck
Bbm
It was a midget G-man
          Ab5             Eb5             Bb5
And we're sorry that we could not show it live
               Db5         Ab5                   Bb5
But we'll have film of the shooting here at five

[Chorus]
Bb5                                 Db5
Give me some news I can use, let me smile for a while
        Eb5                         Bb5 Db5
For the madness has taken it's toll
Eb5  Db5     Bb5                    Db5
Give me some news I can use, just a break for the sake
          Eb5                      F5   Bbm
Of my mind which is losing control

[Verse 2]
Bbm                             Eb5
From Washington today, called a senator to say
         Bbm
That our future has been cancelled 'cause we're broke
                                              Eb
We called the white house without end finally reached the President
        Bbm
Says he don't know if it's real or just a joke

[Pre-Chorus]
       Ab
And in last night's roller derby, things got pretty grim
Ab
They crucified the referee and tore him limb from limb
Bbm
You should have been there
           Ab5              Eb5         Bb5
And in the weather, there's a hurricane in sight
               Db5    Ab5                Bb5
And that's the way it is with us tonight

[Chorus]
Bb5                                 Db5
Give me some news I can use, let me smile for a while
        Eb5                         Bb5 Db5
For the madness has taken it's toll
Eb5  Db5     Bb5                    Db5
Give me some news I can use, just a break for the sake
          Eb5                      F5
Of my mind which is losing control

[Verse 3]
Bbm                             Eb5
Seems like every single day another mind gets blown away
        Bbm
And the world goes just a little more insane
                                    Eb
I got problems of my own, tryin' to keep my house and home
Bbm
Sure could stand some cheerful news again

[Pre-Chorus]
   Ab
My agent called to tell me my record's on the chart
                                                            Bbm
It's number 90 with an anchor, I never said that it was art

I gotta eat too, ya know
       Ab5        Eb5            Bb5
And my buddy who owes me for his bail
                Db5               Ab5             Bb5
He says, "Don't worry, your check is in the mail"

[Chorus]
Bb5                                 Db5
Give me some news I can use, let me smile for a while
        Eb5                         Bb5 Db5
For the madness has taken it's toll
Eb5  Db5     Bb5                    Db5
Give me some news I can use, just a break for the sake
          Eb5                      F5
Of my mind which is losing control

[Out-Chorus]
      Bb5                    Db5
Whoa, news I can use, let me smile for a while
        Eb5                         Bb5 Db5
For the madness has taken it's toll
Eb5  Db5     Bb5                    Db5
Give me some news I can use, just a break for the sake
          Eb5                      F5
Of my mind which is losing control
     Bb5                    Db5
Yah, news I can use, let me smile for a while
        Eb5                         Bb5 Db5
For the madness has taken it's toll
Eb5  Db5     Bb5                    Db5
Give me some news I can use, just a break for the sake
          Eb5                      F5
Of my mind which is losing control
