Bad News And Bad Breaks - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Bad news if he could choose

Would he refuse to be the bearer

It 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

What can he 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

What can you say?

Will he always be this way?

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

Toss in one more dumb cliche

Like 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

(It's not sunny everyday)

Oh, there’s always something

(And there are bumps on every road)

That can set you back

That’s the way life is
