Andrew Bird - Opposite Day lyrics

I got home this morning with the sun right in my eyes

Therewas no warning as it took me by surprise

Hit me like an act of god causing my alarm

That I'd not become a cephalopod

I still had legs and arms

Still had legs and arms

And today was s'posed to be the day

Molecules decided to change their form

The law of physics lose their sway

Youthful indiscretion is

Suddenly the norm with good kids sprouting horns

And today was s'pose to be

Not just another day

Today was s'pose to be

Opposite day

And those who can't quite function

In societyat large

Are gonnawake up on this morning

And find that they're in charge

While those the worlds set up for

Who are really doing quite well

Gonna wake up institutions

In prison or in hell

And today was s'posed to be

Opposite day

But if you think there's something else

Well your right there is something else

But if you think Im gonna tell you

Think agian why should I think of telling you

What there is

Because silence is knowledge and knowledge is power

I'm under explicit orders to dare not speak its name

No I dare not speak its name

Listen! I just work here

No I dare not speak its name
