Tarimo kasih Pak Elthaf. Salah satu daya tarik R.E.M. adalah syair-syair
lagunyo yang "storytelling" seperti susahnya jadi orang Amerika (Serikat)
setelah tahun 2001: we're sick of being jerked around, we all fall down, it's
been a bad day ("Bad Day").
Tapi pada lagu nan samo, mereka menyindir tajam kebijakan Presiden Bush waktu
itu yang menyulitkan warga AS di seluruh dunia.
Iko laman YouTube untuk mancaliak versi penampilan mereka di Jerman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYsA0VnLrIU
dan iko lirik lengkap "Bad Day" yang manuruik ambo hanyo bisa ditulih oleh
musisi dengan kemampuan memahami fenomena sosial yang sangat tajam. Saakan-akan
kritikus satajam Art Buchwald nan manulih, padahal syair ko asli ditulis
Michael Stipe, penyanyi dan lirikus R.E.M.
Bad Day
R.E.M.
A Public service announcement followed me home the other day
I paid it nevermind. Go away.
Shits so thick you could stir it with a stick- free Teflon whitewashed
presidency
We're sick of being jerked around
Wear that on your sleeve
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down.
Have you ever seen the televised St. Vitus subcommittee prize
Investigation dance? Those-ants-in- pants glances.
Well, look behind the eyes
It's a hallowed, hollow anesthesized
"save my own ass, screw these guys"
smoke and mirror lock down
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
the papers wouldn't lie!
I sigh. Not one more
Its been a bad day.
Please dont take a picture
Its been a bad day.
Please
We're dug in the deep the price is steep.
The auctioneer is such a creep.
The lights went out, the oil ran dry
We blamed it on the other guy
Sure, all men are created equal.
Heres the church, heres the steeple
Please stay tuned--we cut to sequel
ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, Count your blessings.
Ebrace the lowest fear/Ignore the lower fears
Ugh, this means war.
Its been a bad day.
Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down.
Its been a bad day...
Pleaase...
minds are like parachutes. they work best when open.
