Lyrics What's in the Headlines - Don Covay

Good morning mean old world (good morning)
What do you have in store for me today, huh?
Good morning mean old world (good morning)
How much dues will I pay?

Will I borrow
Will I steal
Will I make enough money to get a hot meal
Now tell me, what's in the headlines today?
Will it be the breadline today? (extra extra, read about it)

Good morning mean old world (good morning)
How many people gonna die?
Good morning mean old world (good morning)
How many children gonna cry?

Who's gonna lose?
Who's gonna win?
Who'll come out on top in the end?
Now tell me what's in the headlines today? (what's in the headlines)
Oh, who's in the deadline today? (extra extra, read all about it)

Does anybody know I'm here?
Does anybody really care?
Cause no one ever reads the small print
If they do, they discover me on an accident, lord

Good morning hard times (Mr. Hard Times)
Where can Don Covay earn a dime?
Good morning hard times (Mr. Hard Times)
Tell me, where can I find peace of mind?

Will I make it?
Will I fail?
Who's gonna get me out on bail?
Now tell me, what's in the headline today? (what's in the headline)
Will it be the welfare line today? (extra extra, read all about it)

Does anybody know I'm here?
Does anybody really care?
Cause no one ever reads the small print
If they do, they discover me on an accident, lord

Good morning hard times
Where can a poor man earn a dime?
Good morning hard times
Where can I find peace of mind?
Will I make it?
Will I fail?
Who's gonna get me out on bail?
Lord now tell me
What's in the headline today? (what's in the headline)
What's in the headline today? (what's in the headline)
Somebody better tell me...
What's in the headline today?
Will it be the redline, the deadline, the welfare line...
