Today (is Tomorrow's Yesterday)

Today is tomorrow's yesterday
And tomorrow is tomorrow's today
Tomorrow's tomorrow is the day after tomorrow
And tomorrow three days before that is today
It's already tomorrow in Addis Ababa
So for them, our today is yesterday
But there's always tomorrow unless there's no tomorrow
In the which case, why recycle anyway?
Ooh . . .
You know, a wise guy once said that those who don't learn from the future are condemned to live it.
And those who live in past have everything to look forward to.
And a smile is a frown turned upside down,
And a wink is a semi-colon hyphen end-paren turned sideways,
So make the most of the time God gives ya,
And with the rest of the time, do whatever you want!
Now, sing with me!
Today is tomorrow's yesterday
And tomorrow is tomorrow's today
Tomorrow's tomorrow is the day after tomorrow
And tomorrow three days before that is today
Richard Nixon said you can't change the future
But you can reinvent your own personal history
Some look at things as they are and ask why
I look at things the way they are and ask, "Why me?"
I look at things the way they are and ask, "Why me?"
