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
