The Best Day

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I had a rough day, but that's life, it happens

Woke up on a dark side of my mattress

I guess I forgot to set my clock

Overslept, almost lost the job

Then to top it off, I'm kinda hungry

But can't eat till I find my money

It's in my wallet but my wallet ain't in my pocket

Can't remember the last time I saw it

And they don't want me in a bad mood

Afraid that it'll spread and everyone will catch an attitude

They got 'em all singing the same tone

Thinking I should go and start a fire in the break room

Co-workers make me sick

And the manager really ain't shit

But I can't quit, so I'm hiding in the basement

Holding onto to my face like fuck this place

Every day can't be the best day

Do what you can right now, don't hesitate

That's why we try to make love and get paid

Take the bad with the good, now let's play

Hell naw, I ain't going to school

The teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool

And all the kids mess with each other always all day

Class warfare up and down the hallways

And if you ain't popular

Nobody talks to ya, unless they mocking ya

Not even bus driver or the hall monitor

I might as well climb inside my locker huh

It's a bad day, bad week and a bad month

Don't nobody want to trade with my bag lunch

Someday I'm a be so cool

But for now I got cheap shoes, so I keep losing

Girls give no love to a poor man

It's a prison, the clock is warden

Man it won't get no better when I get home

So I listen to the voice in my headphones

Can't dance with an upset stomach

The overdraft notices just kept coming

Somebody broke into the porch and stole a chair

Top of your head stopped growing hair

Broken glass, computer crashed

The car won't start and the tires went flat

Dog got loose, brought back a dead cat

Daughter found it and had a panic attack

Plus you ain't had sex in how long?

Afraid to admit that the fire's all gone

The better half is talking about separate

You wish you could take it back to yesterday

You not alone, it's hard as hell

But don't waste no time feeling sorry for self

We'll be right here with you through your war

Cause you're the one that we make this music for

Now turn it up
