Am E
The dollar went down and the President said
Am E
Who's in charge now I don't know take your pick
Am E
A new disease every day and the old ones are coming back
Am E
Things are looking kind of gray like they're going to black
Am E
Don't turn on the TV don't show me them papers
Am E
Don't want to know he got kidnapped or why they all raped her
Am E
I want to go on vacation till the pressure lets up
Am E
But they keep hijacking airplanes and blowing them up
Chorus:
F Am
Its been a hard day on the planet
C E Am
How much is it all worth
F Am
Its getting harder to understand it
C E Am
Things are tough all over on earth
chords repeat
Its 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
Its 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
(chorus)
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
(chorus)
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 survivors started up all over again
Its been a hard day on the planet
How much is it all worth to you
Its getting harder to understand it
Things are tough all over on earth it's true
Its been a hard day on the planet
How much is it all worth to you
Its getting harder to understand it
Things are tough all over on earth it's true
