Dear diary, what a day it's been
Dear diary, it's been just like a dream
Woke up too late. Wasn't where I should have been
For goodness sake, what's happening to me?
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary
It was cold outside my door
So many people by the score
Rushing around as senselessly
They don't notice there's people like me
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary
They don't know what they're playing
They've got no way of knowing what the game is
Still they carry on doing what they can
Outside me, yours truly, dear diary
It's over. Will tomorrow be the same?
I know that they're really not to blame
If they weren't so blind, then surely they'd see
There's a much better way for them to be
Inside me, yours truly, dear diary
Somebody exploded an H-bomb today
But it wasn't anyone I knew
