Bad News And Bad Breaks Lyrics - 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
