Lyrics

I'm Swearin' Off CNN
© 2011 All Words and Music by Warren Hein

One more worthless interview
24 hours of nonstop fools
I twinkle in that anchor's eye
As a kidnapped baby's momma cries
If I'm stuck with Dorothy and Auntie Em
Gimme that remote, I'm swearin' off CNN

This just in, it's breakin' news
I'm not sure who they're talkin' to
Must be bad, but wait what's that?
They've rescued some old lady's cat
If it's back to reruns on PBS
Yeah I'll survive, I'm swearin' off CNN

I'll buy the paper once a week
Check the ads for somethin' cheap
Maybe news from that internet
It's all too crazy, I'm swearin' off CNN

My sis has cancer, found it last fall
Came from nowhere, Doc says they got it all
Big John's boy limped home from Irag
That's reality--tell Ted Turner's boys I won't be back
Sorry, I get serious now and then
'Cuz I'm not kiddin' I'm swearin' off CNN

This just in--my own breakin' news
I'm one guy they aint talkin' to

Great instrumental accompaniment to a current dilemma. Great storyline had to hear it all

You have a lot of info in this song. Great subject matter

Another really cool song Warren!! Love the lyrics...some great sarcasm and bitter humor!
I really like the interplay with that instrument (something electronic.....between a piano and a banjo). Cool!! BTW, what strings are you using? THey sound really good!

If you're sick and tired of the news, here's the song for you. Cleverly written lyrics. Passionately sung, easy to understand. This song is extremely original...definitely fun to listen to. Instrumentation is super fun. An element of satire that is sure to please. This is a very talented writer. Excellent production and mix. Love the choice of instruments.

Nice positive vibe for a disgruntled person LOL. Good melody throughout and I appreciate the humor in your lyrics. I like the way the song builds with different instrumentation as well. I can hear this tune on John Stewart Show on some other comedic avenue. Last, you kind of have a Rodger Waters feel to your vocals. Dig it!
