PARODY LYRICS by John Emory
“Every Day is Another Low” to the tune of “Every Day is a Winding Road” by Cheryl Crowe
We hitched a ride with an aging convicted felon
He has now been president twice
He’s never heard of intellectualism
He knows nothing, but his hair looks nice
So, here we go
Lay back, absorb the blows
Everybody gets screwed, everybody we know
He says weird stuff, and the damage grows
Every day is another low
And I’m no closer
Every day he commits a crime
And I’m no closer to feeling fine
He’s got a fixer that he calls Elon
They’ve no plan that I can see
They both want to end all regulation
They don’t care for democracy
So, here we go
Lay back, absorb the blows
Everybody gets screwed, everybody we know
He says weird stuff, and the damage grows
Every day is another low
And I’m no closer
Every day he commits a crime
And I’m not closer
Every day is another low
And I’m no closer
Every day he commits a crime
And I’m no closer to feeling fine
Are we swimming in a sea of oligarchy?
The autocratic playbook now sadly is our new routine
Dissing policies and laws is something that we’ve never seen
Is this real, is it really happening? (is it really happening)
Every day is another low
And I’m no closer
Every day he commits a crime
And I’m not closer
Every day is another low
And I’m no closer
Every day he commits a crime
And I’m no closer to feeling fine (it’s been a while)
Every day is another low
Every day is another low
Every day is another low
ABOUT THE ORIGINAL SONG
“Everyday Is a Winding Road” is the second single from American singer and songwriter Sheryl Crow’s 1996 eponymous album. Neil Finn, lead singer of Crowded House, provides backing vocals. Paul Hester, another member of Crowded House, was the inspiration for the song. The single was issued in the United Kingdom in November 1996 and was released in the United States the following year.
The single was well-received on the radio and peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart and became Crow’s fourth and final number-one single in Canada. The song received a nomination for Record of the Year at the 1998 Grammy Awards, losing to “Sunny Came Home” by Shawn Colvin. Billboard and The Guardian both named it as Crow’s second-best song.
A music video for this song was directed by Peggy Sirota and filmed in New York City in sepia tone. It features a toy airplane flying from person to person throughout the city.
