Today Is a Good Day - New Model Army

This storm is beautiful

It breaks the breakable

It blows unstoppable

They had claimed victory

They look so stupid now

It’s ashes in their mouths

There are new soft people

For the new soft winters

But they cannot touch us

I was taught not to cry

I do not need to cry

I can hold myself inside

So today is a good day

Today is a good day

We love to dress to kill

They gave us uniforms

They say they suit us well

But these rules are not agreed

They’re only sophistry

They don’t apply to me

So today is a good day

Today is a good day

And the birds of prey love September

Flying like the harbingers of the winter

Swooping down through the azure perfect sky

We’re drifting weightless

(We push our trolleys down)

Through the aisles of the Superstore

Like a couple of Stepford Wives

This joke is on us all

We all are laughable

We became what we despise

So today is a good day

Today is a good day
