Don'T Watch the Six O'Clock News

Do not watch the six o'clock news If you want to live a carefree life It'll bring you down, beat the crap outta ya It's like being stabbed with a knife Just hearing about all the stuff that goes on You'll wanna set up camp in the woods Not a bad idea when you really think bout it Much happier in all likelihood Now this is turning out to be quite a downer That was not my original intention Always think positive is what I usually say A smile was the greatest invention I'm sure there aren't many cynics on The Soup So I don't think this will be scoffed at Poets have a feel for the right path to choose The one filled with love jam packed So do not watch the six o'clock news It's always about the lunatic fringe Look at your loved ones and tell 'em you care Invite them on a friendly love binge

All exceptionally good advice, Jack. My day is always happier if I don't know what's going on. Ignorance is bliss, I say.

You couldn't be more right! Besides, what the truth is and the news being broadcasted are like day and night;who knows what the truth is? If everyone turned off the news the world would be a better place for sure. :)Paulette
