Ooooohaaaah
I’ve had a bad day, yeah
My hometown is falling down, I’m mad about that
And people there don’t seem to care, I’m mad about that
Chorus:
Good god almighty
There’s no denying life
Would be better if I never ever had to live with you
Blue - it’s a colour so cruel
Repeat chorus
Government has got me wrong, I’m mad about that
And it makes me feel like I don’t belong, I’m mad about that
It’s making life a misery, you would have taken the liberty
Government has got me wrong, I’m mad about that
Chorus
Repeat chorus
There you go telling lies, it’s no surprise
I say a prayer, to make you care
You wouldn’t listen
It’s been too long, it’s time you’re gone
Get away from here
I’ve had too much - but not enough
It’s time you left
Chorus x 3
