What A Fucking Lovely Day!

what a fucking lovely day!
everything has gone my way
all my flags are unfurled
i'm the king of the world
and, to think! it's only may!
it's my favorite time of year
for a spree of crime and fear
it's a joy just to breathe
and to scheme, and to seethe
what a fucking lovely day!
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
ah, the smell of despair!
is that blood in my hair?
I don't care, I don't care
what a fucking lovely day!
