A Hard Day On The Planet Lyrics

A Hard Day On The Planet lyrics

The dollar went down and the President said

“Who’s in charge, now?� I
don’t know, take your pick.

A new disease every day and the old ones are
coming back

Things are looking kind of gray, like they’re going to
black



Don’t turn on the TV, don’t show me the paper

(I)
don’t want to know he got kidnapped or why they all raped her

I want to
go on vacation ‘till the pressure lets up

But they keep hijacking
airplanes and blowing them up



(Refrain)

It’s been a hard day on
the planet

How much is it all worth?

It’s getting harder to
understand it

Things are tough all over on earth.



It’s hot in
December and cold in July

When it rains it pours out of a poisonous
sky

In California the body counts keep getting higher

It’s evil out
there, man that state is always on fire.



Everyone has a system, but
they can’t seem to win

Even Bob Geldorf looks alarmingly thin

I got
to get on that shuttle get me out of this place

But there’s gonna be
warfare up there in outer space

(Refrain)

I’ve got clothes on my back
and shoes on my feet

A roof over my head and something to eat

My kids
are all healthy and my folks are alive

You know, it’s amazing but
sometimes I think I’ll survive



I’ve got all of my fingers and all
of my toes

I’m pretty well off I guess, I suppose

So how come I feel
bad so much of the time?

A man ain’t an island—John Dunn wasn’t
lying

(Refrain)

It’s business as usual; some things never
change

It’s unfair, it’s tough, unkind and it’s strange

We
don’t seem to learn; we can’t seem to stop

Maybe some explosions would
close up the shop



You know, maybe that would be fine: we would be off
the hook

We resolved all our problems, never mind what it took

And it
all would be over, finito, the end

Until the survivers started up all over
again

(Refrain)
