Bad Day
R.E.M.
A public service announcement
Followed me home the other day
I paid it, never mind, go away
Shit so thick you could stir it with a stick-
Free Teflon whitewashed presidency
We're sick of being jerked around
Wear that on your sleeve
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord
Count your blessings
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down
Have you ever seen the televised
St. Vitus subcommittee prize Investigation dance?
Those-ants-in-pants glances
Well, look behind the eyes
It's a hallowed, hollow anesthetized
Save my own ass, screw these guys
Smoke and mirror lock down
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord
Count your blessings
The papers wouldn't lie!
I sigh, not one more
It's been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
It's been a bad day
Please
We're dug in the deep the price is steep
The auctioneer is such a creep
The lights went out, the oil ran dry
We blamed it on the other guy
Sure, all men are created equal
Here's the church, here's the steeple
Please stay tuned - we cut to sequel
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord
Count your blessings
Ignore the lower fears
Oh, this means war
Its been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
Its been a bad day
Please
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord
Count your blessings
Ignore the lower fears
Oh, this means war
It's been a bad day
