Letra de
Today

A música Today, escrita por Billy Corgan, vocalista e guitarrista da banda The Smashing Pumpkins, foi inspirada por um período de profunda depressão que ele enfrentou. A canção, com suas letras irônicas e melodias otimistas, representa uma sátira ao desespero e à visão de Corgan sobre o suicídio. Corgan mencionou que essa música ajudou a banda a alcançar um sucesso comercial significativo e é frequentemente vista como um hino de sua geração.

Today is the greatest day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow, tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out

I wanted more than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore of saving face

Today is the greatest day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow, I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out before I get out

Pink ribbon scars that never forget
I've tried so hard to cleanse these regrets
My angel wings were bruised and restrained
My belly stings

Today is today is today is the greatest
Day hee-yay, oo oo ooo ooo ooo Day hee-yay-ay, hooo

I want to turn you on, I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on, I want to turn you

Today is the greatest today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day I have ever really known
