Bad Day - Live in Dublin / 2005 R.E.M.

[Verse 1]
A public service announcement followed me home the other day
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord
Count your blessings
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down

[Verse 2]
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 lockdown

[Pre-Chorus]
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord
Count your blessings
Ignore the lower fear
Oh, this means war
