AUTHOR'S NOTE + SYNOPSIS
AUTHOR'S NOTE + SYNOPSIS
AM I ONLY WHAT I DID TODAY
Patty robs a bank wielding a military assault-rifle and crosses the point of no return
If common sense could be more common
Then none of us would ever stray
Mistakes we all make - tell me
Am I only what I did today
The code of conduct can be blurry
When order falls to disarray
If you know this then please tell me
Am I only what I did today
Am I only what I did today
(This is Tania! Patricia Hearst!)
Only what I did today
Only what I did today
Who am I who am I who am I… today
If hindsight gives us twenty-twenty
And errors are the human plague
Stuck with my regrets of mine
Am I only what I did today
Am I only what I did today
(Down on the floor, motherfuckers!)
Only what I did today
Only what I did today
Who am I who am I who am I… today
Brav'ry is a noble virtue
Yet where blade meets flesh
It’s not enough
So be careful
Not to avenge a wrong
By being equally unjust
The slippery slope is a staircase
With rotted rails and planks decayed
Misstep by misstep, tell me
Am I only what I did today

Forgiveness given can be godly
Yet to err is not divine
Some sins will never wash away
And judgment waits in all of your tomorrows
Where debts like these are dearly paid
Am I only what I did today
Only what I did today
Only what I did today
Who am I who am I who am I… today
Across some lines sometimes
There’s no going back
No second chance no getaway
At least that’s what they tell me
Am I only what I did today
I am a bank teller
I am a record store manager
I am a housewife
I am an armed guard
I am an innocent victim
I am an urban guerilla
