A public service announcement followed me home the other day
I paid it nevermind. Go away.
Shits 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.

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down.

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 anesthesized
"save my own ass, screw these guys"
smoke and mirror lock down

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
the papers wouldn't lie!
I sigh. Not one more

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

We're dug in the 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.
Heres the church, heres the steeple
Please stay tuned we cut to sequel
ashes, ashes, we all fall down.

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, Count your blessings.
Ignore the lower fears
Ugh, this means war.

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

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down.

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

I hate this song. I think it's fucking annoying, and it just gets on my nerves. They are capable of much better than this.

This song repeats itself quite a few times, but it's still really good. I enjoy it quite a bit.
