One Bad Day

So the day begins

With a public execution

On the way to work

On the F Train

And the day goes on

As the bored, born-Henchmen

Give their bloodthirsty refrains

They say it was "deserved"

They say "he had a record"

They say it was "good riddance"

Tell me do you see the deep, sad sickness

One bad day is all it takes

For that to be your fate

For that to be your face

One bad day is all it takes

Silver linings fade

It all looks gray now

I can't shake it off my mind

The widespread desperation

The countless generations

Angry in the wrong direction

See an enemy in your cellmate

And the captors' breadcrumbs taste like grace

When you're just a doctor's call away

To find the streets are closer than the suites

One bad day is all it takes

For that to be your fate

For that to be your face

One bad day is all it takes

Silver linings fade

It all looks gray now

Is all it takes

In this place

That exploits

Then destroys

Then throws you out

One bad day is all it takes

For that to be your fate

For that to be your face

One bad day is all it takes

Silver linings fade

It all looks gray now

One bad day is all it takes

One bad day
