Bad Back

I am unwell and truculent
Because I've got a bad back
I never knew what trouble meant
Until I had a bad back
I have tried gel and ibubrofen
I’d go through hell and back again
Before I'd have a bad back

A bad back
It really hurts, it hurts a lot
A bad back
A bad back
You should be grateful if you haven't got
A bad back, a bad back

You’ve got exams and you forgot to revise
But you haven't got a bad back
You can't find love however hard you try
But you haven't got a bad back
You're late for work because your gerbil died
You've been impeached because you lied
But you haven't got a bad back

A bad back
I wish I hadn't tried to reach that shelf
A bad back
A bad back
It’s harmed my well-being and mental health
A bad back, a bad back

Bring me my yoga mat
Swivel my hips
Who cares if I look daft
It can’t be worse than this

A bad back
A bad back, a really bad back

One day I'll wake up and rise with ease
I’ll no longer have a bad back
Like a lion, running free
When I haven't got a bad back
You won't mistake me for an OAP
When I remember when to bend from the knee
When I haven't got a bad back

A bad back
It really hurts, it hurts a lot
A bad back
A bad back
You should be grateful if you haven’t got
A bad back, a bad back
