Have a Nice Day Lyrics

Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Who, are you to tell me if it's black or white?
Mama, can you help me try to understand.
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man?
My daddy lived the lie, it's just the price that he...

   This is a song that can be said one way but taken another, it could be a genuine wish that you have a good day and enjoy life, or a sarcastic response to someone trying to drag you down.
   
   It's basically saying that when something comes in your path thattries to gte in your way, don't let it get you down just let it go and leave it behind you as you move on. Never let anyone dictate to you or tell you how to lead your life! Its yours, to with as you wish!

   The reason I really like this song, is because the lyrics are basically saying, live your life, the way you want, and don't let anyone get in your way, and if they do, don't spend too much time on them, just say "Have A Nice Day."

   "When the world gets in my face I say Have a Nice Day" is basically a sarcastic response when someone is trying to get you down and you aren't letting whatever they said bother you.

   Jon wrote this song when he saw what was happening with the US election and the war going on. He saw people getting divided because of beliefs. This song basically means look on the bright side and don't let others knock you down. Don't be a sore loser, but don't be a sore winner either. (Awesome song, btw.)
