Sunday Morning
V-Day Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I wake up and the sun is not yet rising
Tossing and turning worrying about the price of insulin
And other assorted prescription remedies
The problem is I don't know who I can talk to
Living happily in liberal tragedy
Dying of preventable disease
Climb out of bed and the mirror is very frightening
You never know who could be watching
Every wet dream out there on the internet
Recorded through a taped-over laptop camera
I wake up and the sun is still shining
Is 2pm late enough?
I don't know
I'll get back in bed
Captain America takes a swing at Doctor Strange
They've gotten quite confused
At who's side they're supposed to be on anyways
You see Moriarty's back and as we knew he would
Is causing trouble in your neighborhood
So buy up every war bond to put bullets in your best friend's gun!
Captain Planet takes a shot at Dick Cheney
And Dick returns the firing act in away that's very friendly
But I've seen this one before
Yes I know how this one ends
No one held accountable for all these damn reruns of Friends
How am I supposed to keep myself fed
When everything I touch is a carcinogen
And I'm told it's only an issue of attitude
There's traitors in blue and devils in red
While I'm just trying to get out of bed
With waffles in the shape of your favorite Sunday morning cartoons
Joseph McCarthy aims his sights at Lucille Ball
Screaming, "this one's because I don't like you very much at all!"
But how she got away still shocks experts to this day
Another fallen woman, disappointment to William Hayes
Wile E. plants a trap that meticulous coyote
Trying to catch someone in the act of admitting that they're lonely
But I don't think I'm supposed to be
The one who calls the cavalry
That's for a nation under God
With a born-again fear of atomic bombs
Would you like to understand
Where this whole damn mess began?
You see the Office Space crackerjacks were bored
Things were going a bit too well in their 401k prison cells
And they couldn't seem to take it anymore
So when Y2K came and went
Without so much as a clock reset
Chaotic dreams no longer kept
I swear they all fell down and wept
Then I looked inside myself
And I saw an empty wishing well
I thought it would be better than before
I was born September 12th
The year we took the batteries out
And lost what was once but never lost before
The 2K12 came and well
Nobody was judged or sent to hell
So we got up for another round
Then shut up by that ringing sound
Then it all comes crashing down
It all comes crashing dow-ow-ow-own
And I don't care
If God was really there
Can't be bothered




To get out of bed
At all

Well, in my eyes this Film has already succeeded. Just watching the trailer gets me all teared up. I can say that when a story so tragic as this comes to the big screen it is hard towatch in a movie theatre amongst a bunch of strangers.
I didn't use to feel this way but as I have grown older and experienced or rather...become more mature and wise enough to recognize certain attitudes that aren't always favorable against other ethnic groups--and even as regrettably the climate (political), some people tend to lump all ethnicities into one big group and just look down on so many--there is now a recognition and a need to be more protective of my own emotions as they tend to get used against me by certain people--getting to a point here is that it is painful to watch something so heavy and so meaningful in a public setting.
Knowing that my own emotions and reactions are going to be judged. Then it becomes an awareness that overtakes the real feelings and I now have to be guarded and can't truly feel how I feel. Or show how i feel.
Anyway, I want this Movie to do well so very much so!
What a great Interview about an important film that has taken years to get here.
Already keeping Miss Lilly Gladstone in my thoughts for that Oscar🏆. I hope and too feel like she is now on the cusp of so many great things to come. I feel it and I know it.
Lilly-You are so Beautiful-Honest!!!-and Amazing!
As for that CoolKat Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio is he just so Sweet or what? He IS. When i see him in this role its almost as if he captured the pain-horror-the loss and these crimes and he molded his facial features into such contortions as to show those feelings and then he added ignorance-refusal to see the pain and crimes and then...he fell in love with Mollie! Woah..thats a lot of stuff!
I want this film to do well because I know he has put so much of his Heart and Soul into it. Same for Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro. Such a Fine C A S T 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 thinking of Jessie Plemmons and the searingly brilliant Novel by David Grann...more importantly that this Truth got Told! It is a Painful and very tragic truth but there it is 😭😭😭 Sending you my Love 💖 and Hoping this Movie just Sweeps up all the Oscars and that the Osage Nation and all their people --May they feel some Comfort for once. After everything!!! May their Souls begin to heal ~ May their cries be heard and Listened to for who they are and what they went through. 💖

My grandparents were married in Pawhuska, managing a huge ranch. She was just 20s at the time this happened. Grandmother thought she was 1/4 Cherokee, her mother, 1/2 Cherokee. Granddad was Scots....Grandmother felt a strong affinity to the Cherokee & Osage Nations there, though lived in white man's culture. My grandparents bought land in 1945, in the Osage hills, where an Osage couple were buried. They planned to retire there. ...When we'd visit, she'd take us back to the couple's burial, against a sandstone bluff. No oil there, thank goodness. They are buried in Pawhuska.

My grandmother looked a lot like Lily,. Her own grandfather traveled the Trail of Tears. She never talked about why she personally felt such emotion regarding the tribes.... that now I recognize as trauma. She felt great sadness at injustices & loss, but she didn't share why. She may have thought all that grief & injustice would fly like the wind, & be forgotten to history, but it didn't for her. And thru this movie's retelling, it doesn't for us, now.

Seeing the land and Pawhuska, in this movie is like coming full circle, ...clarifying part of a mystery of the why of my history, after living in area, in 50s to 70s then visiting in 2015, with my mother. Pawhuska has a lot of the same downtown buildings, from when it was an oil boom town.

I'm sure Grandmother would be relieved & grateful at it's telling with so much care to show it as it really was.

Thanks so much for telling this story, on paper & film, that moves releases of deep heaves for me, & informs my children more about where we come from. It shines a light on the complexity of vulnerability, love, nobility & evil mankind can be.

These things needs to be told. The atrocities committed towards the indigenous people of this country is absolutely horrible.

@nghtwtchmn129

This story was also part of the 1959 film The FBI Story.

@joshokc

That’s what they want you to think.

Lily Gladstone is definitely a frontrunner for the Best Actress at the Oscars.

@knockouthealthandwellness

Lily Gladstone did her thing with the energy of a woman. The sympathy, empathy, questions, and forgiveness is jaw dropping! I was stunned to see the spirit of the Osage women. They knew everything that was going on in the area but remained themselves. I was overwhelmed with certain scenes.

@valeriacostemalle1621

Martins Scorsese is a real blessing for the movie industry. His way of storytelling , his work’s ethics. The greatest of all time.

@johndalton3180

We are so lucky as Americans to have had such a talented storyteller.
