Song title: Bette Midler - Laughing Matters

Edit By: 216.73.216.145

Live at five and cnn
Keep us all abreast
Of breaking stories that can tend
To make us anxious and depressed.
Problems with no answers
Hang on like some chronic cough.
And every day some brand new issue
Rears its head to piss you off.

Bad guys win.
Optimisms wearing thin.
Things are spinning out of control.
Cynicisms all the fad.
World events could make us mad
As hatters.
Almost every day
Some underpinning slips away.
These arent laughing matters.

Time bombs tick.
People keep on getting sick.
And a nickels not worth a cent.
Widckedness and greed abound.
Just as peace is gaining ground
It shatters.
Hate is here to stay,
And justince goes to those who pay.
Friend, these arent laughing matters.

The truth is scarrier by far
Than anything that stephen king could write.
The stories in the paper are
The daily small decline and fall
Spelled out in black and white.

Oh, what to do, what to do?
How to take a brighter view
When your noodles totally fried.
Human spriits need to be
Leavened by a little levity.
So take those blues
And bounce them off the wall.
Keep your humor please,
cause dont you know it times like these that
Laughing matters most of all.
