Jethro Tull - Tomorrow Was Today lyrics

Silver lights are flashing all along the motorway Must be at least two thousand travellers who are twenty-one today They're going down to London Town with a banknote in each hand They live so they can die in England's green and pleasant land Well, some of them take to the roads and some do wear a tie Big brother watches all of them but all must live the lie We say good night, sleep tight Well, it's a good night, stay bright Well, it's good night, that is right: tomorrow was today Well, it's good night, sleep tight Well, it's a good night, stay bright Well, it's good night, that is right: tomorrow was today They rise each morning early to workhouse office rules Grow gardens on their window sills, grow children in their schools They say good night, sleep tight Well, it's a good night, stay bright Well, it's good night, that is right: tomorrow was today Every day's the same: the names have all been changed The rent is overdue and so is Christmas too They pay you by the hour for painting Blackpool Tower Well, me: I'll just sit tight and write my epitaph But, then again, I may get laid by the laundromat When the night-light has been lit I'll squeeze some lady's t… knee Santa Claus died yesterday, Robin Hood is in the nick For stealing from the people and giving to the rich He says good night, sleep tight Well, it's a good night, stay bright Well, it's good night, that is right: tomorrow was today Well, it's good night, sleep tight Well, it's a good night, stay bright Well, it's good night, that is right: tomorrow was today
