Parody of "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter
(2 Kings 16:1-4, 18:1-6, 21:19-24, 22:1-2, 23:25, 2 Chronicles 28:1-4, 29:1-2, 31:20-21, 33:21-25, 34:1-2, 33; Ezekiel 18:14-23; Psalms 27:10; Deuteronomy 24:16; Numbers 26:9-11, 1 Chronicles 9:19)

Where was your father when you need him most'
He picks up and leaves and there's bad things he does
You tell me your bloodline's made that way
You tell me your dad has gone astray
And you don't feel like carryin' on

You're stranded in life 'cause of him and you know
You figure that now there's a curse on your soul
You tell me you'd like me to change your mind
Read all of Ezekiel 18 and find
The child don't need to bear the brunt

'Cause you had a bad dad -- so, baby, what now'
Who said your dad's son just can't turn it around'
In case you don't know -- I'll show you a couple guys
The worst in the Bible -- but the kids were alright
You had a bad break -- your family's gone awry
But calm it back down, baby, really, don't cry
You have a better fate -- You gotta have faith

Well, you need to cruise by Psalms today
The 27th chapter -- what's it say
When dad don't seem to care at all'

'Cause you had a bad dad -- so, baby, what now'
Who said your dad's son just can't turn it around'
In ages long ago -- King Ahaz was a guy
Who's worthless and vile -- but he had Hezekiah
And after that day, King Amon arrived
He brought a black cloud but his kid was Josiah
Who brought a better day (oh, follow me)

Second Kings 16 through 23 shows you how things can turn around
King Ahaz and Amon were bad to the bone
But they had the most righteous sons to be on the throne
Yeah

So where was your daddy when you needed him most'
Oh, you know what'
You need to believe in a Dad you can trust

'Cause you had a bad dad -- so, baby, what now'
Who said your dad's son can't just turn it around'
In Second Chronicles 28 through 35
Ahaz was reviled but they loved Hezekiah
And how about Amon -- he was despised
But, how they revered his son Josiah
He had a better fate -- you gotta have faith
You gotta have faith
