Judgement Day
Birthday, Christmas Day, Fourth of July
Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving, ain’t gonna lie
Holiday, Holy Day, Fifth Monday
Every day, all day, not a fun day
Each day, every day is Judgement Day
Each day, every day is Judgement Day
They look at you
They weigh you
They measure you
Any way they can
They find you wanting
They find you lacking
They find you missed the mark
Best get with the plan
Labor Day, Halloween, New Years
Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day, cry me some tears
His Day, Her Day, lost the pay day
Inauguration Day, swearing in and at you hey
Each day, every day is Judgement Day
Each day, every day is Judgement Day
They look at you
They weigh you
They measure you
Up and down and back and forth, sideways
They find you wanting
They find you lacking
They find you’ve not tried hard enough
You are accountable for all the untried ways
Death Day, Mourning Day, Burial Day
The Day they dug the hole
The Day they fill it in
And forever trap your soul
Each day, every day is Judgement Day
Each day, every day is Judgement Day
Never made the mark
Never measured up
Never scored the goal
Or held the winner’s cup
Judgement Day oh Judgement Day
You’ve had your piece of me
Judgement Day oh Judgement Day
May I please rest free…
