Today Is, Pt. 1 lyrics

[CAROLINE]
I get up at six-thirty
With the help of my alarm
The alarm that means "wake up, it's time to go"
Today is Monday

[DREW]
How to start the day right
'Cause if you don't start the day right
You know your day will be terrible, in my experience

[MARIDETH]
Soap should not smell like fruit;
Soap should smell like nothing at all...

[MEL / JOHANNA / MICHAEL / TOMMY / DREW / KURT]
Today is Monday

[JESSICA / CAROLINE / TERRY / AMY]
Today is Tuesday

[REMY / MICHAEL ]
Today is Wednesday...

[MEL]
Ohio in winter is pretty
[TOMMY]
It's pretty depressing;
It's gray every day here, and cold!

[REMY]
So layer when you're dressing:
Scarf, hat, gloves, snow boots, overcoat

[MEL, overlapping]
Scarf, hat, gloves, snow boots, overcoat

[TOMMY, overlapping]
Scarf, hat, gloves, snow boots, ovеrcoat

[COMPANY]
Scarf, hat, gloves, snow boots, overcoat...

[PARENTS]
The Wеather Channel said there could be a storm

[COMPANY]
It's important that you dress to stay warm
In Ohio!

[CAROLINE]
Today is Thursday:
It's my first year of college
I take the bus to get to class
Greet the driver hello, sit in the front row
Today is Friday
[DREW / REMY / TOMMY]
Today is Friday

[JESSICA / MARIDETH / MEL]
Today is Friday

[GROUP]
Today is...
Going places, I am going places
There are places I need to be

[JESSICA]
I mean that literally

[GROUP]
But, most of the spaces
That I want to get to
Were not designed for me

[JESSICA]
It's annoying how often I'm stranded alone
And my government transport can't be bothered to pick up the phone
Mom, the driver won't pick up his phone...

[REMY]
I'm Remy, and this is my new cosplay channel
Today's look is '90s Grunge, with ripped jeans and old flannel
[TOMMY]
Seatbelt buckled, hands at ten and at two
It's important that you check your rear view
In Ohio...

[MEL]
Do you know how your habits are formed?
Doing the same thing over and over

[PARENTS]
Today is Monday...

[MEL]
In time, conditioning parts of your brain

[PARENTS]
Today is Tuesday...

[GROUP]
That's what we do in Ohio
Doing the same thing over and over

[KURT / MICHAEL]
Today is Wednesday

[TERRY / AMY / JOHANNA]
Today is Thursday

[JESSICA]
Like lines in a play, or a song's refrain

[TERRY / MICHAEL]
Today is Friday

[TOMMY]
Hello, how are you? Thanks, I'm fine

[GROUP]
Hello, how are you? Thanks, I'm fine

[REMY]
I say the words, but are they mine?

[GROUP]
Hello, how are you? Thanks, I'm fine

[DREW]
But when you say a word so many times
It doesn't sound right any more
Routine

[COMPANY]
Routine, routine, routine, routine, routine, routine

[GROUP]
Who are we doing it
[COMPANY] For?

[every member of the GROUP overlaps]
[DREW, overlapping]
How to start your life right
‘cause if you don’t start your life right
You know your life will be terrible!
In my experience

Get the highest test scores
Volunteer, and join the chess club
And then you will get great references
In my experience

[CAROLINE, overlapping]
There’s a bus stop by campus
It’s on Mount Vernon and North Grant
Then it’s only an eight minute walk to class. Today is Monday

Then I walk a bit faster, ‘cause I am late for Japanese. Here I go, ‘ohayo!’
Sit in the front row
Today is Tuesday

[MARIDETH, overlapping]
Screen is square, light is blue
Hit refresh, find something new
Facts are safe, tried and true
With people, who knows what they’ll do?

[JESSICA, TOMMY, overlapping]
Going places
I am going places
There are places I need to be

But most of the spaces
That I want to get to
Were not designed for me

[MEL, overlapping]
Do you know how your habits are formed?
Doing the same thing over and over
In time, conditioning parts of your brain
Do you know how your habits are formed?
Doing the same thing over and over
In time, conditioning parts of your brain

[REMY, overlapping]
I’m Remy
And this is my first time recording
Today’s look is: Flight Crew
“Your group will soon be boarding.”

I’m Remy
And this took a long time to master
Today’s look is: survivor
Of a natural disaster

[TOMMY, spoken]
I'm sorry, can we just take a break for a moment? There's a lot going on
Thank you
