2022 Broadway A Strange Loop the Musical - Today Lyrics
The song is written by Michael R. Jackson.
USHER: I am a Disney usher I'm barely scraping by My discontentment comes in many shapes and sizes When I wake up each morning I tell myself to try I tell myself that I will make no compromises
Today...
A meeting with my landlord Who makes me miss my train And I smell awful cause there is no time to shower I plaster on a smile Pretend I have no brain Make nice with asshole tourists hour after hour
Today... Today, I plan to change my whole life forever
THOUGHT: (spoken) Usher, surprise! How you doin'? It's your daily self-loathing! I had some time to kill, So I thought I'd stop by to remind You just how truly worthless you are!
Hey Usher, how you doin'? It's your financial faggotry and ooh, child! Do you have a second to discuss this situation With Shitty Bank Student Loans?
USHER: Rewrite that shitty lyric To make the ending land Condense the repetition to its most essential Define a formal structure So people understand Pull out the stops to show the story's full potential
Today... Today, I plan to change this show for the better
THOUGHT: (spoken) Usher? Hi, babe. I'm with corporate niggatry, Just checking in to see if you were ready to invest in Cookie, Lucious, the Beyhive, the Stellar Awards, Or Wakanda Forever so we can finally Get you into something unapologetically black
Usher, as supervisor of your sexual ambivalence, You can rest assured that I've sealed the gates of your body And mind so that nothing can get inside Your shitty butthole until you give the word
USHER: I want to break the cycle That's so ingrained in me But change comes way too slow and I am in a hurry There's all of this rejection Which brings such misery But with my white girl music, I drown out the flurry of
Today...
I am a Disney usher I'm barely scraping by My discontentment comes in many shapes and sizes When I wake up each morning I tell myself to try I tell myself that I will make no compromises
So days like this just get me I hate days like today Days when I face myself, but see the same reflection Someone who's stuck rewriting And stuck in his own way Someone who has to edit every imperfection
Today... Today I plan to change myself
THOUGHT: (spoken) Okay, girl. Whatever
