Bad Day
Alvin and The Chipmunks Lyrics

Where is the moment we needed the most
We are missing the important moment we were anticipating.

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
You are doing things that are no longer enchanting or magical.

They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
People say that your happy times are fading away and sadness is creeping in.

They tell me your passion's gone away
They tell me that you have lost your enthusiasm for what you once loved.

And I don't need no carryin' on
I don't need any more explanations or excuses.

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You are queuing up to experience something that disappoints you even more.

You're faking a smile with the coffee you go
You pretend to feel happy while trying to get through your day with a cup of coffee.

You tell me your life's been way off line
You share with me that your life has been a mess lately and nothing has gone according to the plan.

You're falling to pieces every time
You are collapsing emotionally with every setback.

And I don't need no carryin' on
I don't require any further explanation or consolation.

Because you had a bad day
Your day went really wrong.

You're taking one down
You are bearing the brunt of your misfortunes.

You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You sing a melancholic tune to vent out your emotions.

You say you don't know
You declare that you have no clue what to do next.

You tell me don't lie
You ask me to be honest with you.

You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You force yourself to be happy and go for a drive to distract yourself.

The camera don't lie
The camera captures the truth.

You're coming back down and you really don't mind
Even though you are suffering, you are accepting the reality and moving on.

Will you need a blue sky holiday?
Do you need a break from all your troubles?

The point is they laugh at what you say
The main issue is that people ridicule and disregard what you say.

And I don't need no carryin' on
I don't want to prolong the conversation or the argument.

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
Sometimes things don't work, and we don't know why.

And the whole thing turns out wrong
And everything falls apart.

You might not make it back and you know
You may not recover from the setback and realize it.

That you could be well oh that strong
But you might discover that you are stronger than you thought.

And I'm not wrong (Yeah)
And I'm sure that I'm not mistaken (Yes).

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Where is the enthusiasm when we need it the most?

Oh you and I
Both of us.

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
You do things that used to spark joy, but now they are no longer special.

You've seen what you like
You have experienced what you like.

And how does it feel for one more time
How does it feel to experience it one more time?

You had a bad day
Your day was terrible.

You had a bad day
Your day was awful.
