I found a franklin folded underneath my pillowcase and I, I’ve still got all my teeth I save a dime and buy the medium sized coffee in a cautionary Cup of polystyrene And I don’t hesitate To tip the man behind the counter just for counting back my change And I won’t be afraid To flex my cheeks and show my teeth all painted grey with coffee stains And I’ve still got all my teeth This ain’t my day-to-day most days This is my day today This ain’t my day-to-day most days This is my day today This ain’t my day-to-day most days This is my day today I wanna know what changes have been made And I don’t Complicate The world wanes in disarray but this perception makes it fade away And I won’t Be surprised When a Sasquatch sits across the aisle sifting through the New York Times This ain’t my day-to-day most days This is my day today This ain’t my day-to-day most days This is my day today This ain’t my day-to-day most days This is my day today I wanna know what changes have been made I found a franklin folded underneath my pillowcase and I, I’ve still got all my teeth I save a dime and buy the medium sized coffee in a cautionary Cup of polystyrene This ain’t my day-to-day most days This is my day today This ain’t my day-to-day most days This is my day today This ain’t my day-to-day most days This is my day today I wanna know what changes have been made This is my day today This is my day today This is my day today This is my day today This is my day today This is my day today

How am I supposed to be, A famous rockstar, When all the stars that I can see are the ones in her eyes? How am I supposed to, Change the world, When the only thing I wanna change is the expression on her face? She makes it difficult to rule the world. To dominate the land like dinosaurs. She makes it difficult to rule the world. It might be easier to rule just hers. How am I supposed to plan, world domination, I’m busy planning our next date? How am I supposed to Write the best song ever? I mean each song keeps getting better cause it’s more about her. She makes it difficult to rule the world. To dominate the land like dinosaurs. She makes it difficult to rule the world. It might be easier to rule just hers. I see her face in every single piece of toast I make. I hear her voice in every single song that plays on the radio. I smell her fragrance every single time I bake a cake. I think about her all the time. It’s a crime what she does to my mind. It’s a crime. She makes it difficult to rule the world. To dominate the land like dinosaurs. She makes it difficult to rule the world. It might be easier to rule just hers. She makes it difficult to rule the world. To dominate the land like dinosaurs. She makes it difficult to rule the world. It might be easier to rule just hers.

Sometimes 03:57
You’ve got to make a plan You’ve got take a stand You’ve got to fake a tan Creating stakeholders to further your brand You’ve got to lie to salesmen at meetings You’ve got to fly in first class seating You’ve got to buy a wristwatch with pleating Cause you are competing for handshakes at meetings you say Sometimes I make up my mind Most times I listen to the lies Realize all I really want Stand by cause I will proceed on You’ve got to take A second look at your day-to-day But time is money so you better think fast Or the time and the cash might fade away On the razor's edge each breakfast Call it shaving cream of wheat and by dinner time you’re hectic As a clock ticking six times each second But sometimes You get high in the back of a parked car and wonder why nothing feels right. But most times You are losing yourself in the moment. You are confusing your friends for opponents. Sometimes I make up my mind Most times I listen to the lies Realize all I really want Stand by cause I will proceed on I make up my mind sometimes I listen to the lies most times All I really want real eyes Cause I will proceed on standby. Cause I will proceed on standby

Stuck in the middle of this place No expression on my face A familiar sounding phrase I am pulling at the veil Wonder what it might avail While my palms are turning pale I will rinse them in the well flooded with wishes Where the quarters swim like fishes This explicit narcissism is submissively suspicious I said This is Quite illogical I’d say Quite impossible I don’t Think I’ll ever know What’s goin on But here we are going over again The same old cracks in this fresh pavement And here we are going over again The contender will always contend There’s a serpent at my feet And he’s tempting me to eat From a tree that’s next to me Let the lions take control While the prophets just get old And the poets turn to prose This is Quite illogical I’d say Quite impossible I don’t Think I’ll ever know What’s goin on But here we are going over again The same old cracks in this fresh pavement And here we are going over again The contender will always contend
