Bad Day - Live in Dublin / 2005

[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
Ignore 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

[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
Embrace the lower feel
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]

[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]
(Du-du du du du, oh
Du-du du du du, oh-oh, oh-oh
Du-du du du du, oh
Du-du du du du, oh-oh, oh-oh)
