Song Lyrics

Bad news if he could choose Would he refuse to be the bearer
Seems what he has to do
Could not be any clearer It's a job he can't neglect
It's 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 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.
It's not sunny everyday and there are bumps on every road
Toss in one more 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 Oh!
There's always something That can set you back...
