lyrics

SUNRISE, NOT A CLOUD IN THE SKY
BIG DAY OF FAMILIAR SURPRISE
AND I WALK AND I TALK IN THE USUAL WAY, THAT’S ALL
AND I THINK TO MYSELF WHAT A GOOD DAY FOR THE SLAVES

WATER JUST COMES FROM THE TAP
AND A FORTUNE OF MIRACLES LANDS IN MY LAP
AND I PRAY THAT’S HOW IT STAYS
AND I THINK TO MYSELF WHAT A GOOD DAY FOR THE SLAVES

THE ROOF LEAKS A LITTLE THAT’S ALL
WE THINK THERE’S SOME DAMP IN THE PARTY WALL
IT’LL WAIT FOR ANOTHER DAY
AND I THINK TO MYSELF WHAT A GOOD DAY FOR THE SLAVES

I STARE AT THE PAGE IN MY HANDS
AND TRY TO AGREE WITH SOME OF ITS DEMANDS
I CAN READ, I CAN WRITE, I CAN THINK FOR MYSELF
HEY-HEY
AND I THINK TO MYSELF WHAT A GOOD DAY FOR THE SLAVES
I’M A SLAVE MYSELF AND IT’S A GOOD DAY FOR SLAVES
