lyrics

Another bad day —
Maybe thought we’d seen the end,
But we never could say when.
Call it wishful thinking.

Another bad day —
Sure feel like giving in.
Gettin’ lost downtown again,
Pretend the ship’s not sinking.

We paid to watch this.
We can’t turn our heads and say
“Look at all the mess they made.”
Our prayers and thoughts
Must be a million miles away.
Maybe no one’s listening out there anyway.

Another bad day —
Another scene that makes no sense.
Another angel on the fence.
Maybe its the morning star.

Another bad day —
You know I tried to shake it loose —
Find a different point of view.
Pretend the sky’s not falling.

We came to watch this,
We can’t turn ourselves away.
Think of all the plans we made.
Our prayers and thoughts
Fall just like snowflakes on the flame.
They're not quite strong enough
To stop the blaze.
Another bad day.
