DISCLAIMER: See Ch. 1.

A/N: If you want to be able to see the lyrics of the original songs, go to www(dot)allthelyrics(dot)com.

Also, I have ideas to make parodies of more R.E.M. songs, although I'll choose another group/musician soon enough. For my next thing, I was hoping to turn their song "Electrolite," into "Dementor Fright," which is from Harry's point of view about the night he was attacked by those two dementors.

/WARNING:/ The song that this is a parody of originally contained the curse words at the points where they appear in this song; so if you're afraid of a few little swearwords, don't read this.

Chapter 2: Bad Day

SUMMARY: Ever wonder how hard it is for members of the Order of the Phoenix to undermine Fudge at the Ministry of Magic, like for Mr. Weasley or Tonks? How would they express their feelings about their idiot of a Minister? (This is a parody of "Bad Day," by R.E.M.)

A stupid Ministry decree followed me home the other day,
I paid it nevermind, go away.
Shit's so thick you could stir it with a stick,
powerful greedy bureaucracy.
We're sick of being jerked around,
Wear that on your sleeve

Broadcast me a bunch of lies into the times, Fudge,
count your mistakes,
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down.

Have you ever seen those publicized Ministry press conferences
by Cornelius Fudge? That high-and-mighty clown.
Well, look behind the eyes, his attitude basically says,
"save my own ass, screw these guys" school and student lock down

Broadcast me a bunch of lies into the times, Fudge,
count your mistakes,
The papers shouldn't lie!
I sigh. Not one more.

It's been a bad day, please don't take a picture
It's been a bad day. Please
It's been a bad day, please don't take a picture
It's been a bad day. Please

We hate each new Educational Decree.
That bitch Umbridge is such a creep.
The clubs were gone, it might have been a bribe
Maybe by Weatherby, that new court scribe.
Sure, it might have been done illegally.
Here's the job, here's the money.
Especially in Dumbledore's office, when he had to flee,
stupid morons, you were knocked out.

Broadcast me a bunch of lies unto the times, Fudge,
Count your mistakes.
Ignore the lower fears,
Ugh, this means war.

It's been a bad day, please don't take a picture
It's been a bad day. Please
It's been a bad day, please don't take a picture
It's been a bad day. Please

Broadcast me a bunch of lies into the times, Fudge,
Count your mistakes,
We're sick of being jerked around,
We all fall down.

It's been a bad day, please don't take a picture
It's been a bad day. Please
It's been a bad day, please don't take a picture
It's been a bad day. Please
