R.E.M. - P.S.A. (a.k.a. Bay Day) Lyrics

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

A public service announcement followed me home the other day,
I paid it nevermind, go away
The shit's so thick, you could stir it with a stick,
Pre-teflon white-washed Presidency, we're sick of bein' jerked around,
Wearin' it on your sleeve

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord,
Count your blessings, we're sick of bein' jerked around, we all fall down

Have you ever seen the televised, St. Vitus sub-committee prize, investigation dance
Those ants-in-pants glances
Well, look behind the eyes, it's a hallowed, hollow, anethetized
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 your picture,
It's been a bad day, please
It's been a bad day, please don't take our picture,
It's been a bad day, please

We're dug in 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 the sequel
Ashes to ashes, we all fall down

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord,
Count your blessings, ignore the lower fear, oh, this means war

It's been a bad day, please don't take your picture,
It's been a bad day, please
It's been a bad day, please don't take the picture,
It's been a bad day, please

Na na na na na oooh,
Na na na na na oooh,

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, Lord,
Count your blessings, we're sick of bein' jerked around, we all fall down

It's been a bad day, please don't take your picture,
It's been a bad day, please
It's been a bad day, please don't take your picture,
It's been a bad day, please

It's been a bad day, please don't take our picture,
It's been a bad day, please
It's been a bad day, please don't take your picture,
It's been a bad day, please

Na na na na na oooh,
Na na na na na oooh,
Na na na na na oooh,
Na na na na na oooh
