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
That 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
Opposite Day!
Same as Before! All together, With Feeling!
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
OPPOSITE DAY!
(ahem...) In this part for the d and C chords you pluck the bass then pluck the two
strings and for the A and G Chordds you pluck the bass then the G string and B String... Got
I have the violin part two, but if someone would show me how to make tabs I'd be
to show it. (shrugs)
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
(This picking pattern is easy, It's thumb, fore finger, middle finger. Here's how you do
You pluck the bass with your thumb and then you pluck with your forefinger the G string
then the B string... Easy! Sorry)
Yeah, 'cause silence is knowledge
And knowledge is power
I'm under explicit orders to dare not speak its name
Hey 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
Ta Da, sorry about the long windedness, i'm new at this
