The Worst Day of My Life
CHLOE
It's gotta be the worst day
It's gotta be the worst day of my life
Home is more than empty halls,
Seven flights, and these four walls
Maybe make believing
Works if you are hoping something's true
Large or smaller, keep it real
Change just happens, learn to deal
With words like "it's for your own good"
"We'd stay together if we could"
"You'll learn to love this neighborhood"
Life was so much better
Back when dad was working everyday
Lots of talk about red ink
Down size was word, I think
Mom will tell him "Things will be alright,
I could get a second job at night"
Next thing that you know they're in a fight
And now it's mom and dad are relocating
Keeping me and grandma waiting
As she reads to me and offers me advice
And all I want is a way to turn the clock back
My apartment and my old block back
The tension here you can cut it with a knife
Its the worst day of my life
ALICE
I was running late because it snowed
Then I forgot the rookie teacher code
Never turn you back on gunhill road
CHLOE
Grandma runs me like the girl scout troop
Says I have to join the science group
And she's like obsessed about this soup
BOTH
No matter what,
we will always have each other
ALICE
We're the greatest daughter
CHLOE
Greatest mother
ALICE
God, this headache its got me holding on for life
CHLOE
And please will grandma stop all the disciplining
ALICE
Will someone make the room stop spinning
BOTH
Cause the tension here you can cut it with a knife
This is the worst day of my life
ALICE
This is the worst day of my life
CHLOE
This is the worst day of my life
ALICE
The very worst day of my life
BOTH
This is the worst day of my life.
