A Hard Day On The Planet Lyrics

by Loudon Wainwright

The dollar went down and the President said

Whos in charge, now? I dont know, take your pick.

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

Things are looking kind of gray, like theyre going to black



Dont turn on the TV, dont show me the paper

(I) dont 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)

Its been a hard day on the planet

How much is it all worth?

Its getting harder to understand it

Things are tough all over on earth.



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 cant seem to win

Even Bob Geldorf looks alarmingly thin

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

But theres gonna be warfare up there in outer space

(Refrain)

Ive 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, its amazing but sometimes I think Ill survive



Ive got all of my fingers and all of my toes

Im pretty well off I guess, I suppose

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

A man aint an islandJohn Dunn wasnt lying

(Refrain)

Its business as usual; some things never change

Its unfair, its tough, unkind and its strange

We dont seem to learn; we cant 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)
