| Have you read the papers?
 | 
| Have you heard the news?
 | 
| Then why’d you get out of bed?
 | 
| Didn’t you hear what they said?
 | 
| They said today’s the coldest Monday
 | 
| Since it froze that awful Sunday
 | 
| Was it in the afternoon that I got so wet?
 | 
| I forget
 | 
| Don’t turn on the TV
 | 
| No, I don’t wanna see it
 | 
| It only means more bad news
 | 
| I’ve had enough of the blues
 | 
| I’m gonna pull the bedclothes tighter
 | 
| 'Til there ain’t another fighter
 | 
| Left to want to change the world
 | 
| I’ll bury my head
 | 
| Like I said
 | 
| Oh, that I could get my vision back
 | 
| I could see things that I lack
 | 
| Love is a dream that floats away
