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 another Bible story

Out of deference, defiance and choice

And close in 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!
