Bad Day...

A couple of weeks ago, we rented "Alvin and the Chipmunks." The movie starts out with all three of them singing: "Bad Day" and it happened to be one of those for me. I just listened to these chipmunks fully explain my thoughts at the moment. Well last night I finally got around to downloading the song and thought I would share my sentiments:


Where is the moment we needed the most

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

They tell me your blue skies fade to gray

They tell me your passion's gone awayAnd I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low

You're faking a smile with the coffee you go

You tell me your life's been way off line

You're falling to pieces every timeAnd I don't need no carryin' on
Because you had a bad dayYou're taking one down

You sing a sad song just to turn it around

You say you don't knowYou tell me don't lie

You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day

The camera don't lie

You're coming back down and you really don't mind

You had a bad dayYou had a bad day
Will you need a blue sky holiday?

The point is they laugh at what you say

And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day

You're taking one down

You sing a sad song just to turn it around

You say you don't know

You tell me don't lie

You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day

The camera don't lie

You're coming back down and you really don't mind

You had a bad day
(Oooh.. a holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink

And the whole thing turns out wrong

You might not make it back and you know

That you could be well oh that strongAnd I'm not wrong
(yeah...)
So where is the passion when you need it the most

Oh you and IYou kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day

You're taking one down

You sing a sad song just to turn it around

You say you don't know

You tell me don't lie

You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day

You've seen what you like

And how does it feel for one more time

You had a bad dayYou had a bad day
