Opposite Day - Andrew Bird

I got home this morning 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 now become a cephalopod 
I still had legs and arms 
Still had legs and arms 

Today was supposed to be the day 
Molecules decide to change their form 
Laws of physics lose their sway 
Youthful indiscretion now is 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 
It was supposed to be, today was supposed to be 
And today 

Those who can't quite function in society at large 
They've got to wake up on this morning to find that they're in charge 
But those the world's 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 decide to change their form 
Laws of physics lose their sway 
Youthful indiscretion now is 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 
Today was supposed to be 
Not just another day 
Toady was supposed to be 
Not just another day 
It was supposed to be, today was supposed to be 
And today 

But if you think there's something else 
Well you're right, there 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 knowledge 
And knowledge is power 
I'm under explicit orders to dare not speak its name 
Listen up, I just work here 
Oh I dare not speak its name 
I can't keep talking about it 
Oh, I dare not speak its name
