Bad day looking for a way, oh looking for the great escape   gets in his car and drives her away far from all the things that we are   force a smile and breathes it in and breaths it out; he says   bye, bye, bye to all of the noise   oh he says bye, bye, bye to all of the noise      hey child, things are looking down   that's OK, you don't need to win anyways   don't be afraid, just eat up all the gray   and it will fade all away   don't let yourself fall down      Bad day, looking for the great escape   he says, bad day, looking for the great escape   on a bad day, looking for the great escape, great escape
