Tom Swifty

A Tom Swifty (or Tom Swiftie) is a phrase in which a quoted sentence is linked by a pun to the manner in which it is attributed. Tom Swifties may be considered a type of wellerism. The standard syntax is for the quoted sentence to be first, followed by the description of the act of speaking. The hypothetical speaker is usually, by convention, called "Tom" (or "he" or "she"). more »

(Today) Ain't no different from yesterday, it's just the same, really 
When you get down to it, but 
(Today) Is all we got, so we gotta make it hot 
Yeah, we get down to it, what 
(Today) Ain't no different from yesterday, it's just the same, really 
When you get down to it, but 
(Today) Is all we got, so we gotta make it hot 
Yeah, we get down to it, what 

Dream 
For a better tomorrow 
Let's get swept up in our hopes, a little less far to go 
If yesterday was spent this way 
But we got rent to pay 
Trickin the mind to worship nickels and dimes 
When there isn't the time 
Change, we need it 
Not in some faraway, unpromised one comment feeble 
Let's be honest, people 
It's embarrassing, carelessly prepared to keep racing 
For less air to breath 
Bickering hard, we should be filtering smog 
It's time the kids are in charge 
But the truth about today 
Is hard to swallow, swim the shallow 
Waters hollow, still lost the battle, that's today 
Single mothers drink to mingle 
Homeless masses, one-finger cymbal, that's today 
Who's the quickest to pick up the picket signs 
And who will get in line? That's today 
Live, live, live 

(Today) Ain't no different from yesterday, it's just the same, really 
When you get down to it, but 
(Today) Is all we got, so we gotta make it hot 
Yeah, we get down to it, what 
(Today) Ain't no different from yesterday, it's just the same, really 
When you get down to it, but 
(Today) Is all we got, so we gotta make it hot 
Yeah, we get down to it, what 

It ain't a small task 
Composed when you fall flat 
Breathin through the pain 
Drippin blood and all that 
To keep it real when deep fear is on blast 
Such a bitter truth from such a small flask 
Ain't easy to see, even less to admit to it 
Something you can't understand 'less you really been through it 
Something in the air, something in the vibe 
Isn't what we're tryin to find even if we never hide it 
Is it a lie denied behind eyelids 
Is it still true if it resides inside silence 
Disguised by the high, subsiding where the violence is 
Aggression of condescension from the highnesses 
Lurkin round edges, wrapped in that abrasion 
A phantom of the opera read, a ghost of admiration 
A smokin gun? Nope, a trail from the flare flung 
Reoccurring accident we too afraid to run from 

(Today) Ain't no different from yesterday, it's just the same, really 
When you get down to it, but 
(Today) Is all we got, so we gotta make it hot 
Yeah, we get down to it, what 
(Today) Ain't no different from yesterday, it's just the same, really 
When you get down to it, but 
(Today) Is all we got, so we gotta make it hot 
Yeah, we get down to it, what 

Wasted away, faded to grey 
Feels like I've been placed in this play just to face 
A parade of mistakes spectators can taste 
An array of insane meditations on space 
But I'm saved by the grace. Hastily chased away 
Nascent escapes from this nation's debates 
Tastefully named and encased in a framed 
It'd be safer to say I was made for this game 
But a taste of the fame (Today) ain't what it used to be 
I'm used to seein' youth just bein' youth 
Trying to erase the mundane (Today) and every day 
That they livin' through, it's given to em, true, and yes 
It's chastely displayed (Today) in a glass case guarded 
By card-holding reps of the decayed and the lame 
Of [today] They're yesterday's great martyrs 
Who started with hearts chartered by the 
Naval brigades of today 
Yesterday it was the army 
Tomorrow you'll be a body in a decorated grave 
But [today] you're just an a-hole prayin' 
He ain't a scapegoat in training, but there 
Ain't no complaining 
Not today, no, not today, save it for a later date 
Now take all the blame, kid 
What? You thought it's gonna be different, yo 
Didn't you know 

(Today) Ain't no different from yesterday, it's just the same, really 
When you get down to it, but 
(Today) Is all we got, so we gotta make it hot 
Yeah, we get down to it, what 
(Today) Ain't no different from yesterday, it's just the same, really 
When you get down to it, but 
(Today) Is all we got, so we gotta make it hot 
Yeah, we get down to it, what
