Today Is Today

Today is today
And tomorrow is tomorrow
So live it
That way

Today can be happy
Today can be of sorrow
So live it
That way

And the happiness
That you didn't feel today
You will never
Feel it tomorrow
You can never
Feel it tomorrow

It's my life
And I have to live it
Tomorrow may never come

It's my life
And I have to give it
All that I can

Oh, it's my life
Though I shriek
Though I cry

It's my life
Though I shrivel up
And die

Oh, it's my life
So I scream
Oh, it's my life
And all my dreams
They can come true

I was born with an affectation
Two malignancies
A fucked-up nation
They called me to the war
Fuck you very much

I was pulling on mommy's skirt
Saying please buy me an ice cream
I slurped it down
Thank you very much

I was so ugly as a child
That I turned my shirts
And let my hair grow wild
My cousin said that I looked better
Thank you very much

I was cast in a marble sky
The tears were falling
From my eyes
Forming little pools
For the mosquitoes
What do they do now
But bite me?
No thank you very much

I was rich
I wasn't poor
We had silver ceilings and gold floors
I was rich I wasn't poor
We had silver ceilings and gold floors
What about steel?
No thank you very much

I went to jail
As a young man
It had a profound effect
On the childhood I had had
With scars on my fingers
Thank you very much
