Lyrics

Bad Days

You're sorta stuck where you are But, in your dreams you can buy expensive cars Or live on mars And have it your way And you hate your boss at your job Well in your dreams you can blow his head off In your dreams Show no mercy And all your bad days will end And all your bad days will end You have to sleep late when you can And all your bad days will end And all your bad days will end And all your bad days will end You have to sleep late when you can And all your bad days will end
