[Verse 1]
A Public service announcement followed me home the other day
I paid it never mind. Go away
sh** 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
[Chorus 1]
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 a**, 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
[Chorus 2][x2]
Its been a bad day
Please don't take a picture
Its been a bad day
Please
[Verse 3]
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, ashes, we all fall down
[Bridge]
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, Count your blessings
Ignore the lower fears
Oh, this means war
[Chorus2][x2]
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 1][x4]
