Bad Day by R.E.M. with lyrics. I re-uploaded this because I accidently had the pitch a "quarter-step" down. Please comment and rate!

LYRICS:

A Public service announcement followed me home the other day
I paid it nevermind. Go away.
Shit's 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.

Its been a bad day.
Please dont take a picture
Its been a bad day.
Please

Its been a bad day.
Please dont take a picture
Its 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.

Its been a bad day.
Please dont take a picture
Its been a bad day.
Please

Its been a bad day.
Please dont take a picture
Its been a bad day.
Please

I saw the light it can't be right

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

Its been a bad day.
Please dont take a picture
Its been a bad day.
Please

Its been a bad day.
Please dont take a picture
Its been a bad day.
Please

Its been a bad day.
Please dont take a picture
Its been a bad day.
Please

Its been a bad day.
Please dont take a picture
Its been a bad day.
Please

  • God, I wonder if they were influenced by 'Its the end of the world...' when writing/recording this track. Peter's chord and rhythm sequence in particular is very much in keeping with the style of that song. Great song! Cant wait for the new album.

    xx

  • @mysolitarystar Actually, I think Bad Day influenced It's the End of the World As We Know It. Bad Day was written in the 80s and a demo track was recorded under the name P.S.A. It uses the drum intro from End of the World and the bass plays this guitar riff. Then it somehow became End of the World and this version was released in 2003. There's an upload of P.S.A. somewhere on youtube, I think the video is called Bad Day Outtake Version or something.

  • @SW2395 Really wow! I love REM, I have every album, but until now I had thought Bad Day was post millenium work. Thanks for telling me that, its really appreciated. Ill have a look for the Outtake.

    Thanks again. x

  • @mysolitarystar You're welcome! Glad I could help. :D

  • today my day was cool, but it ended like shit

  • The HISTORY will take care of you..

  • @mysolitarystar I agree, I noticed that when I heard those two songs right each after other..

  • I used to listen this song when i went to a football stadium.

    Today a ask in a forum the name, and hear I am enjoying it.

    Fuck yeah!!!

  • @ACE0MARTlNEZ if you can't hear any difference, again: its YOUR fucking problem, idiot

  • @ACE0MARTlNEZ stupid logic, and man, fuck you, retard

    what you do is keeping quality of things low, since i know it is possible to keep a fucking high quality, i fucking want it and i'll keep telling retards like you to 1) fuck off 2) learn to use your ears

    idiot, i'm trying to tell something useful but no, you have to keep your fucking stupid point of view because i'm just "somebody from the internet"

    try to think about what i said, and try to listen to this song wih nice quality

  • @Quilbo if you dont like it, then dont listen to it and fuck off! there are enough people that can enjoy music even in this quality

  • @ACE0MARTlNEZ 720p? man, you and music are two separate thing. or better, you and SOUND in general

    i can't fuckin' believe you can't hear how bad is this recording. i'm not talking about going from mp3 quality to cd quality, i'm talking about fucking phonograph quality versus decent.

    be real, this is SHIT quality, and it should be blacklisted

  • @Quilbo stfu, the song sounds great, i think 720p is a little unnessesary

  • Potato quality, nice video.

    For fucks sake, get rid of this shit quality videos from the tube, please
