Tom Paxton - Daily News Lyrics






Civil rights leaders are a pain in the neck
Can't hold a candle to Chang Kai Shek
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News
Ban the bombers are afraid of a fight
Peace hurts business and that ain't right
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News
Daily News, daily blues
Pick up a copy any time you choose
Seven little pennies in the newsboy's hand
And you ride right along to never, never land
We got to bomb Castro, got to bomb him flat
He's too damn successful and we can't risk that
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News
There's millions of commies in the freedom fight
Yelling for Lenin and civil rights
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News
Seems like the whole damn world's gone wrong
Saint Joe McCarthy is dead and gone
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News
Don't try to make me change my mind with facts
To hell with the graduated income tax
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News
John Paul Getty is just plain folks
The UN charter is a cruel hoax
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News
J. Edgar Hoover is the man of the hour
All he needs is just a little more power
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News

    Could be newscorp today

  2. R.... W....

    Could so easily be rewritten for today..... Black lives matter are a pain in the neck, can't hold a candle to MBS, how do I know, I read it in the daily news. Progressive are a afraid of a fight, peace hurts business and that ain't right, how do I know, I read it in the daily news.... Got to bomb Iran, bomb it flat, they don't obey us and we can't have that, how do I know, Fox said it on the news. There's tons of Putin Puppets in the freedom fight, fighting for healthcare and equal rights, how do I know, Rachel said it on the nightly news. Seems like the whole damn world's gone wrong, saint John McCain is dead and gone..... The CIA is just plain folks, international law is a cruel hoax....
