Too Bad Lyrics

Fathers hands were lined with dirt
From long days in the field
And mothers hands are serving meals
In a cafe on Main Street
With mouths to feed
Just trying to keep clothing on our backs
And all I hear about is
How it's so bad, it's so...

    'Too Bad' is about Chad's life: how his father walked out on him without a care, just calling every so often 'to make sure we're alive' But his father leaving him damaged Chad: 'But you weren't there/Right when I needed you the most'. The song to describe Chad's father trying to get in touch, but Chad ignores him, saying 'It's too bad/It's too late/It's so wrong/So long'AKA get lost.

    True, this is about Chad's life just as most of his songs were about his childhood. If you watch the video they are dramatizing his childhood except the part on the car crash. The father calls them once and a while and by the song and the other songs I can see he had a great mother who had to put up with a lot of shit.
