Lyrics Bill Callahan – Day

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

Learn from the animals, monkeys do
Monkeys do, monkeys do piggish things too
Learn from the vegetables, monkeys do, monkeys do

The way they strive towards the light
A small potato in the blight
Still strives toward 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 toward the light
It’s as dark as night
Strive toward the light
Strive toward the light
I know it’s as dark as night
I know it’s as dark as night
It is day though
