All the screaming headlines they just won't leave me alone
They seem to have to follow almost everywhere I go
I can hear their constant echo I can't stop looking at my phone
There's nothing I can do I just want to watch a different show
So bring on the dancing girls
I can't save the whole damn world
When I look around me, everything is looking fine
But the stories that I read are always dismal all the time
I try not to pay attention
I try to act like I don't mind
And somehow they will find me, doesn't matter where I hide
So bring on the dancing girls
I can't save the whole damn world
If I were God, I’d start again
I'd make the snake take back what he said
No fig leaf shame, no fall of man
I'd leave the jews, where they began
No hungry hearts, No need for more
No headlines crying out for war
No pundit spin, No New York Times
No talking heads, No Fox News Lies
All the screaming headlines they just won't leave me alone
They seem to have to follow almost everywhere I go
Everybody has the answers And they think I need to know
And I wish that I could help them but I can barely help myself
So bring on the dancing girls
I can't save the whole damn world
