Every Day Is Yours To Win . (REM song from album ‘Collapse Into Now)
With the walk and the talk and the tick tock clock. With the rock and the roll and the bridge and the toll. With the brilliance and the light and the stink and the fight. And the road ahead of you, I cannot tell a lie, it’s not all cherry pie. But it’s all there waiting for you, yeah you. With the warp and the wooze and the subterfuge, does it all look bitter and blue? Well I’m nothing but confused with nothing left to lose and if you buy that, I’ve got a bridge for you. Every day is new again. Every day is yours to win. And that’s how heroes are made. I wanted to win. So I said it again; that’s how heroes are made.
