Bad Days
e.h. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I paid it never mind
Go away
Shit 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
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 anesthetized
"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
Here's the church, here's the steeple
"Please stay tuned - we cut to sequel"
Ashes to ashes, we all fall down
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord
Count your blessings
Ignore the lower fears
Oh, 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
"Bad Days" by e.h. is a politically charged song that calls out the lies and manipulations of those in power. The lyrics describe a feeling of frustration and disillusionment with the current state of society. The song begins with the singer encountering a "public service announcement" which they ignore, representing the apathy and helplessness many feel in the face of overwhelming corruption and deceit. The following lines paint a bleak picture of the government, describing it as "Teflon whitewashed" and "sick of being jerked around." The chorus pleads for hope and optimism amid the chaos, asking for a "joyful noise unto the times" and urging listeners to "count your blessings."
The second verse introduces the concept of televised subcommittee investigations and smoke and mirrors, further emphasizing the idea that the government is hiding something from the public. The singer notes that the news can no longer be trusted, as "the papers wouldn't lie," and expresses resignation and fatigue with the current state of affairs. This leads into the bridge, which lists a number of issues facing society, including economic inequality and environmental degradation, before pleading for action: "Oh, this means war."
Overall, "Bad Days" is a song that captures the frustration and disillusionment many feel with politics and society. Its lyrics are dense and allusive, painting a vivid picture of a world that is falling apart at the seams. However, the song never loses its sense of hope and optimism, urging listeners to maintain a positive outlook even in the darkest of times.
