[Verse 1]
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.
[Verse 2]
Am E Its hot in December and cold in July Am E When it rains it pours out of a poisonous sky Am E In California the body counts keep getting higher Am E Its evil out there, man that state is always on fire. Am E Everyone has a system, but they can't seem to win Am E Even Bob Geldorf looks alarmingly thin Am E I got to get on that shuttle get me out of this place Am E But there's gonna be warfare up there in outer space
[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.
[Verse 3]
Am E I've got clothes on my back, and shoes on my feet... Am E A roof over my head, and something to eat... Am E My kids are all healthy and my folks are alive... Am E You know, it's amazing but sometimes I think I'll survive. Am E I've got all of my fingers and all of my toes... Am E I'm pretty well off I guess, I suppose... Am E So how come I feel bad so much of the time? Am E A man ain't an island, John Dunn wasn't lying.
[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.
[Verse 4]
Am E It's business as usual; some things never change Am E It's unfair, it's tough, unkind and it's strange Am E We don't seem to learn; we can't seem to stop Am E Maybe some explosions would close up the shop Am E You know, maybe that would be fine; we would be off the hook. Am E We resolved all our problems, never mind what it took. Am E And it all would be over, finito, the end! Am E ...until the survivors started up all over again!
[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. 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.
