Phone Messages

Kids have been leaving me phone messages lately. A couple of weeks ago it was a drunken couple of my students babbling incoherently into the phone. Last night at 1:30 in the morning I slept through some kids leaving a message in which they played Daniel Powter's "You Had A Bad Day" into the phone and then nervously babbling something at the end. 
   I didn't exactly have a bad day, but maybe word has got out that they're not keeping me at my school next year? I haven't told anyone, but some of the teachers have kids there who hang out with kids that I teach, so who knows? 
I got through my day just fine, but I think the message was meant to be kind: 
Where is the moment we needed the most 
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost 
You tell me your blue skies fade to grey 
You tell me your passion's gone away 
And I don't need no carryin' on 
You stand in the line just to hit a new low 
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go 
You tell me your life's been way off line 
You're falling to pieces every time 
And I don't need no carryin' on 

'Cause you had a bad day 
You're taking one down 
You sing a sad song just to turn it around 
You say you don't know 
You tell me don't lie 
You work at a smile and you go for a ride 
You had a bad day 

The camera don't lie 
You're coming back down and you really don't mind 
You had a bad day 
You had a bad day 
Well you need a blue sky holiday 
The point is they laugh at what you say 
And I don't need no carryin' on
