Bad Day - Live in Dublin / 2005

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 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) [Outro, spoken] Thank you Okay, good to see ya This is the first time we'll have played this song in Europe
