Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Where is the moment we needed the most?

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

They tell me your blue skies fade to gray

They tell me your passion's gone away

And I don't need no carryin' on

[Verse 2]

You stand in the line just to hit a new low

You're faking a smile with the coffee to go

You tell me your life's been way off line

You're falling to pieces every time

And I don't need no carryin' on

[Chorus]

Because you had a bad day, you're taking one down

You sing a sad song just to turn it around

You say you don't know, you tell me, don't lie

You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day, the camera don't lie

You're coming back down and you really don't mind

You had a bad day

You had a bad day

[Verse 3]

Well you need a blue sky holiday

The point is they laugh at what you say

And I don't need no carryin' on

[Chorus]

You had a bad day, you're taking one down

You sing a sad song just to turn it around

You say you don't know, you tell me, don't lie

You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day, the camera don't lie

You're coming back down and you really don't mind

You had a bad day

Ooh, a holiday

[Bridge]

Sometimes, the system goes on the blink and the whole thing turns out wrong

You might not make it back and you know that you could be, well, oh, that strong

And I'm not wrong

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 4]

So where is the passion when you need it the most?

Oh, you and I

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

[Chorus]

'Cause you had a bad day, you're taking one down

You sing a sad song just to turn it around

You say you don't know, you tell me, don't llie

You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day, you've seen what you're like

And how does it feel? One more time

You had a bad day

You had a bad day (Ah, yeah, yeah)

[Outro]

Had a bad day

Had a bad day

Had a bad day
