Bad News And Bad Breaks
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Bad news if he could choose, would he refuse to be the bearer
Seems what he has to do could not be any clearer
It's a job he can't neglect, its consequences will affect
I'm glad that I'm not in his shoes, he's the bearer of bad news
And what can you do?
He's got an ugly job to do
Oh, there's always something that can set you back
That's the way life is
Bad breaks for heaven sakes and mistakes he couldn't count
To put it politely, well, it's a very large amount
Whenever he gets involved, you end up with problems you can't solve
You're cleaning up the mess he makes, he's a victim of bad breaks
And what can you say?
And will he always be this way?
Oh, there's always something that can set you back
That's the way life is
Hey!
There's always something that can set you back
That's the way life is
It's not sunny everyday
And there are bumps on every road
Toss in one more dumb cliché
A life can be a heavy load
Said, life can be a heavy load now
Oh, there's always something that can set you back
That's the way life is
Oh, there's always something that can set you back
That's the way life is
Oh, there's always something that can set you back
That's the way life is
Oh, there's always something that can set you back
That's the way life is
It's not sunny everyday!
And there are bumps on every road!
Oh, there's always something that can set you back
That's the way life is
