Every Day Is Today Lyrics - Lex Zaleta

We live in that most tiny of times 

We've chosen to label "The Present." 

Refusing to heed caution's loud chimes, 

We're late for life's class, and we're content 

To miss Today in our rush to climb 

Past Future mountains, pitch our paper tents. 

Charge ahead 

Or retreat. 

Take a stand; 

Keep your seat. 

Call time out, 

Call time in; 

It's a game 

You can't win. 

The future flashes right before us, 

A gold carrot on a cosmic stick. 

We sing the "Hallelujah Chorus," 

And we all try not to miss a trick. 

Chanting "Oh, come let us adore US;" 

Building up our egos, brick by brick. 

Charge ahead 

Or retreat. 

Take a stand; 

Keep your seat. 

Call time out, 

Call time in; 

It's a game 

You can't win. 

The past calls out in distant echoes, 

Sounding better with each passing day. 

One door opens and one door closes, 

And we can't turn and walk either way. 

In bed with some jolly good fellows 

Molding crude memories out of clay. 

Charge ahead 

Or retreat. 

Take a stand; 

Keep your seat. 

Call time out, 

Call time in; 

It's a game 

You can't win. 

Time passes, 

And we fail 

To see that 

It can't take 

Us with it. 

Either way, 

It's today 

Ev'ry day. 

Every day 

Is today. 

Either way, 

Today is 

Where we'll stay. 

Either way, 

It's today 

Ev'ry day. 

Every day 

Is today. 

Earth, we are watching you! 

We see everything that you do! 

For every imagined evil in the world, 

There are ten times as many real. 

Earth, we are watching you! 

We see everything that you do!
