It started out all wrong
the money wasn't there
standin' on the corner
wondering just where
I was gonna go
now that there was
nowhere else to go
runnin' round all night
woke up with my rights
now I see the light
yesterday's over
she run off with a dream
who snuck her from my room
almost got away
then I smelled her perfume
shining in the face
of a guilty moon
lovers in the trees
broken hearts are free
now I finally see
yesterday's over
and today
I'll fight for tomorrow
and tonight
I'll live for today
in the morning Startin' over
I'll find another way
millions die from need
while greedy bastards lie
selling us those golden
plastic reasons why
they get everything
just because they're lucky
runnin' from the hype
runnin' for my life
now I see the light
yesterday's over
and today
I'll fight for tomorrow
and tonight
I'll live for today
in the morning Startin' over
I'll find another way
demons like police
ghosts in velvet suits
victims of martinis
and thigh high leather boots
tryin' to control the world
they been abusin'
now I'm breakin' free
take your hands off me
cuz I finally see
yesterday's over
