Lyrics
One Day Off
Words & Music by John Masarone
I had to be somewhere an hour ago
meet up with people that I don't even know
I need one day off
Continue talk about the way it should be
treating humans like they can't count to three
I need one day off
There's endless cycles in this roundabout
it sometimes seems like there's no way out
I need one day off
And all this energy is all around
yet no cure for anything is found
I need one day off
What seems unmistakably
some reality based on fallacy
People see what they want to see
irregardless of what factually is there
I never said a word so there I sat
hearing arguments the world is flat
I need one day off
Don't you know my friend the Earth is curved
you'll never change that take my word
and take one day off
just one day off
