Låttexter: Todd Rundgren. Arena. Today.

Today

Time to get up and face it
Time to endure that aching
Time, I must keep account of
Time, the exact amount of
My life you've entwined in the game that you've designed
To waste my time, my precious time
All gone down the drain
Now it's time to break the chain
Today's the day
Today's the day
We settle our scores
Because tommorrow we're gonna wake up
Even
Time, there is no such thing as
Time, just the endless ring of
Time after time of constant
Time wasted wrestling with

Something someone said that got glued inside your head
Somewhere in time, in ancient time
Hope the memory dies
Then you finally realize
Today's the day
How many years must we continue
With bitter tears upon the menu?
The same old fears, a different venue
Now it appears the stress will end you
Let's get it all out in the open
Somebody call and make it happen
In the boardroom, on the backstreets
Hugs and kisses, knives or axes
Why not here, why not now?
Why not here, why not now?
Why not today?
