It Happened Today
It Happened Today ——R.E.M
This is not a parable
This is a terrible
This is a terrible thing
Yes I will rhyme that,after,after all I've done today
I have earned my wings
It happened today.Hooray!Hooray!
It happened.Hip,hip,hooray!
We'll leave the allegory to a different Bible story
Out of deference,defiance,the choice
Closing on a promise,after,after all I've done today
I have earned my voice
It happened today.Hooray!Hooray!
It happened.Hip,hip,hooray!
Oohs,and aahs,and awws.......................................
