Bad Day - Amended
A Public service announcement followed me home the other day
I paid it nevermind. Go away.
Shit's 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
Its been a bad day.
Please don't take a picture
Its 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.
Heres the church, heres 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
Ugh, 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.
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down.
Its been a bad day.
Please don't take a picture
Its been a bad day.
Please
I paid it nevermind. Go away.
Shit's 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
