    Bad Day
    R.E.M.
    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
    Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord
    Count your blessings
    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

      @@MrRobinJerome Check out their earlier albums, there's much more of a punk influence there. Also 1994's "Monster", 2008's "Accelerate". A personal favorite of mine which really rocks is "Begin the Begin". Also dig their dark, kind of grungey rock songs such as "Oddfellows Local 151", "I Remember California".
      R.E.M. is such an eclectic band, the range of diversity in their songs almost equals the Beatles' output. There's melancholy ballads, folksy songs with acoustic guitar and mandolin, sunshiny pop songs, dark moody grunge, energetic rockers and experimental electronics. I love R.E.M., and I'm sure their catalog has something to offer for everyone (even hip-hop - "Radio Song", "The Outsiders".)

The nonsense news bites scrolling across the bottom are hilarious.

      R.E.M. had so many unique qualities and each guy in the band brought something special to the table. Mike Mills is a phenomenal bassist (and keyboardist) and one of the best complementary vocalists in rock history; Peter Buck had that distinctive jangly thing and hardly ever played traditional solos; Bill Berry's drumming was never boring and he had a strong influence on the songwriting; and Michael Stipe evolved from this shy, waiflike former art student to become one of the greatest rock-and-roll vocalists of all time in a new-wavy college band with an intriguing Southern heritage. Quite a story, wouldn't you say?

    I love how the video and stories inside it are multilayered and every layer is so brilliantly made and how it intertwines with the song lyrics. From the newsreel on the bottom that I get chuckles from when I focus on it, to the obvious things like a literal office flood. This all is just an aspect of what I love about the video and the song. I remember how I was excited to see it on TV back when I watched TV stations like Vh1.

    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
