Day - Bill Callahan

Some people are a sickness on this land

They’re killing, they’re taking, they’re stealing

Whatever they can

Anything, anything, anything that is not bolted down

Your life, your money, your heart, your faith, your bike

Anything that is not bolted down

Learn from the animals, monkeys do

Monkeys do piggish things too

Learn from the vegetables, monkeys do

The way they strive towards the light

A small potato in the blight

Still strives towards the light

I know it’s as dark as night

It’s as dark as night

It is day though

Some would ask, what are we to do

With a world that crumbles to the touch?

A world that spins and dies where it stands,

Like trying ain’t enough?

To family is all you can do

To family is all you can do

Even if it’s just us two

To family is all you can do

And strive towards the light

Strive towards the light

It’s as dark as night

Strive towards the light

Strive towards the light

I know it’s as dark as night

It is day though
