Why Does This Always Happen To Me

Weird Al Yankovic

Transposer:

Capo 4 for original key [Intro] [Verse 1] I was watching my TV one night when they broke in with a special report about some devastating earthquake in Peru. There were thirty thousand crushed to death even more were buried alive. On the Richter scale it measured 8.2. And I said "God please answer me one question? Why’d they have to interrupt ’The Simpsons’ just for this?". What a drag ’cause I was taping it and everything; And now I’ll have to wait for the rerun to see the part of the show I missed. [Chorus] Why does this always happen? Why does this always happen to me? Why does this always happen? (Why) Why does this always happen to me? Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [Verse 2] I was driving down the highway when all the traffic slowed to a crawl there was a twelve-car pile-up everybody dead. And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere as well as my friend Robert’s disembodied head. (disembodied head) And I thought"Poor Rob I just had lunch with him. Hey wait a minute he still owes me moneywhat a jerk!" Well there’s five bucks that I’m never gonna see again. Plus now on top of everything else it looks like I’m gonna be late to work. [Chorus] Why does this always happen? Why does this always happen to me? Why does this always happen? (Why) Why does this always happen to me? Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba ba baaaaa--- [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] Oh the other day my boss said we were running low on toner and he told me I should buy another case. Well I told him I was busy but he still just kept on asking; So I turned around and stabbed him in the face. (right in the face) Oh and wouldn’t you know it my knife got stuck. I guess that’s probably bound to happen now and then. But I’m afraid I may have bent the tip a little and I know that blade will never ever be quite as sharp again. (quite as sharp again) Oh tell me! [Outro] Why does this always happen? Why does this always happen to me? Why does this always happen? (Why) Why does this always happen to me? Why does this always happen to Me? (Why does this always happen to me?) Why does this always happen to Me? (Why does this always happen to me?) Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba (repeat to fade)

La chanson raconte les mésaventures d'un homme qui se trouve dans des situations catastrophiques, tout en gardant un ton humoristique et absurde. Il se plaint que des événements tragiques, comme des tremblements de terre ou des accidents de la route, viennent perturber sa vie quotidienne, comme le temps qu’il souhaitait passer à regarder ses séries préférées ou à se concentrer sur son travail. À chaque malheur survenu autour de lui, son esprit se focalise sur des détails matériels ou personnels, ce qui souligne un contraste comique avec la gravité des situations qu'il décrit. Le contexte pertinent fait écho à une culture où les gens se plaignent souvent des petites contrariétés de la vie tout en subissant des tragédies plus grandes. L'ironie ici réside dans le fait que même au cœur du chaos et de la tragédie, son esprit est préoccupé par des préoccupations futiles. C'est un reflet de notre tendance à minimiser les véritables difficultés, en se concentrant sur nos propres frustrations.
