I got home this morning with the sun right in my eyes
And there was no warning as it took me by surprise
It hit me like an act of God, causing my alarm
I'd not become a cephalopod
I still had legs and arms
Yes, I 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
And today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
No today was supposed to be
Today was supposed to be
Opposite day

Those who can't quite function in society at large
Will wake up on this morning and find that they're in charge
But those the world's set up for, who are really doing quite well
Will wake up in institutions
In prison or in hell
In 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
And today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
Today was supposed to be
Today was supposed to be
Opposite day
