1: Now, didn't you see it coming
from the moment you woke up?
Nothing you can do. Might as well give- in.
This day of all days will magni-
fy- all of your faults.
Doubts will come a-thundering.
You just can't win.
You can feel it in the air.
Why, it's even in your hair.
It's going to be an awful day-.

INTERLUDE:

2: At times you can get the vibes like
something's out on the- loose.
Nothing you can do. Write- the day- off.
Especially feeling vulnerable?
Well, don't expect a truce.
Opponents keep a-plaguing you.
They just won't stop.
You can sense it coming 'round.
May be seeping from the ground.
It's going to be an awful day-.

BREAK:

BRIDGE:
Today of all- days,
even friends will be correcting you.
And the stand-offs in the halls:
instead of guts, you've got- mush.
Today of all- days,
even friends will be dissecting you.
What you want is back in bed,
but all you get is feeling crushed.
I know! I know! I know!

CODA:
It won't help to slam and curse.
You will only make it worse.
It's going to be an awful day-.
It's going to be, it's going to be ...
I know! I know! I know!
It's going to be an awful day-.
