Opposite Day
Andrew Bird
I got up thismorning with the sun right in my eyes
And there was no warning as it took me by surprise
As it hit me like an act of god
Causing my alarm that I had not become a cephalopod
Still had legs and arms and stuff
Still had legs and arms
Today was supposed to be the day
Molecules decided to change their form
Laws of physics lose their sway
Youthful indescretion is now suddenly the norm
With the good kids sprouting horns, yeah yeah
And today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
Not just another day, was supposed to be
Today was supposed to be opposite day
Those who can't quite function in society at large
They're going to wake up on this morning
And find that they're in charge
While those the world set up for who are really doing quite well
They're going to wake up in institutions
In prison or in hell
Prison or in hell
Today was supposed to be the day
Molecules decided to change their form
Laws of physics lose their sway
Youthful indescretion is now suddenly the norm
With the good kids sprouting horns, yeah yeah
And today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
Not just another day, was supposed to be
Today was supposed to be opposite day
But if you think there's something else
Well you're right, there's is, there's something else
But if you think I'm gonna tell you
Think again
Why should I even think of telling you what there is
Yeah, 'cause silence is knowlege
And knowlege is power
I'm under explicit orders to dare not speak its name
Listen up, I just work here
Oh, I dare not speaks its name
I can't keep talking about it
Woah, I dare not speak its name
