Bad day, looking for a way
Home, looking for the great escape
Gets in his car and drives away
Far from all the things that we are
Puts on a smile and breathes it in
And breathes it out, he says
Bye bye bye to all of the noise
Oh, he says, bye bye bye to all of the noise
Doo doo doo doo doo noo noo
Doo doo doo doo doo noo noo noo noo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo noo noo noo
Hey child, things are looking down
That's okay, you don't need to win anyways
Don't be afraid, just eat up all the gray
And it will fade all away
Don't let yourself fall down
Doo doo doo doo doo noo noo
Doo doo doo doo doo noo noo noo noo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo noo noo noo
Bad day, looking for the great escape
He says, bad day, looking for the great escape
On a bad day, looking for the great escape
The great escape
