The sound of all good things breaking

The comments on the last post about anyone Reform-related being hoist by their own petard made me think of this song. Sometimes it's hard not to just agree with The Decemberists that Everything is Awful.

Everything, everything, everything... everything is awful
Oh everything, everything, everything ... everything is awful
Everything is awful, everything is

What's that crashing sound
That follows us around?
That's the sound of all things good breaking
Put your fears to rest
You know it's for the best
As a choir of angels sings

Everything, everything, everything... everything is awful
Oh everything, everything, everything ... everything is awful
Everything is awful, everything is

I know you've worked so hard
To hoist your own petard
Must be so nice, the point caught in your side
Lay down your heavy head
It's safer hid in bed
And let those voices ring

Everything, everything, everything... everything is awful
Oh everything, everything, everything ... everything is awful
Everything is awful, everything is

La la la la la
La la la la awful
Everything is
La la la la la
La la la la awful
Would you kindly keep it down?
La la la la la
La la la la awful
Just try to get some sleep
La la la la la
La la la la awful
Everything is
