Here I stand a comedy song writer Make the news lighter Here’s how I do it
 I look for humor instead of complaining 
 But it can be draining, sometimes I think, screw it
 Reading just how awful things are getting Is so upsetting, I get distressed
 If like me, you’re still trying to keep up As problems heap up We need some re. . . .est I’m tired, tired of outrage fatigue New outrage every week ‘Til I’m ready to shriek Tired, tired of the work that’s required And of legislators who should be fired Let's face it we’re all exhausted We’ve been through battles before Women’s rights, the Vietnam war
 Crises, quite a run of Still these new fights by the rightwing Are spiteful and frightening But they’re so easy to make fun of Okay I’ll keep going Oy, we’re tired, of keeping up with the news It gives us the fwiggin’ blues We’re so tired! God dammit everything’s fakakta Each day more sexism racism Anti-semitism homophobia Income inequality Daily mass shootings In every news post Plus Trump and his big lie that wrecks lives Red states intruding into our sex lives Oh and our planet and our democracy may be toast (oy) Tired, of being squeezed by this news anaconda, Ain’t it a friggin’ Shanda, 
we’re so . . . Let's face it Reading the news could drive anyone meshuggenah!
 With outrage fatigue!
