Bad Day - Live From Mark and Lard On BBC Radio 1 / 2003
[Verse 1]
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
[Bridge]
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord
Count your blessings
We’re sick of being jerked around
We all fall down
[Verse 2]
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 lockdown
[Bridge]
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord
Count your blessings
The papers wouldn't lie
I sigh, not one more
[Chorus]
It’s been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
It's been a bad day
Please
It's been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
It's been a bad day
Please
[Verse 3]
We're dug in 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 to ashes, we all fall down
[Bridge]
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord
Count your blessings
Embrace the lower fear
Oh, this means war
[Chorus]
It’s been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
It’s been a bad day
Please
It's been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
It's been a bad day
Please
[Harmonica Solo]
I saw the light, he can’t be right
[Bridge]
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord
Count your blessings
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down
[Chorus]
It's been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
It's been a bad day
Please
It's been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
It's been a bad day
Please
It's been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
It's been a bad day
Please
It's been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
It's been a bad day
Please
