The song was originally known as PSA and was first played live in early 1986. But it was not released until 2003, on the collection In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003
According to It Crawled From the South, Marcus Gray (1996), PSA was inspired at least in part by a time Stipe answered a knock a...
Bad Day Lyrics
[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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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, ashes, we all fall down
[Pre-Chorus]
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord
Count your blessings
Ignore the lower fears
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
[Ad lib]
(Du-du du du du
Du-du du du du
Du-du du du du
Du-du du du du)
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Ad lib]
