By What They Say

It’s tomorrow’s drama, to study from today.
Since tomorrow a bunch of us will already be in the ground.
Tomorrow is too many males, not even half a female....
Don’t talk to me too much about tomorrow, please.

By what they say, we’ll be doing better tomorrow.
May the God of Ready Money help us all.
Today’s blood, sweat and tears
will be yesterday’s by tomorrow.

By what they say...
(I say no, I say no...)

If not tomorrow, the day after, yes; maybe day after that...
In the future of later they tighten our question further.

By what they say, you’re best off collecting shadows;
what goes before makes clear how to dance in reverse.
They say it’s not bad to go hungry today,
no one foresees going hungry day after tomorrow.

By what they say, tomorrow we’ll be doing better.
The rivers of milk and of honey...

By what they say ...
(I say no, I say no ...)

Happiness bouncing and the sun working two by two:
you get your humiliation at half price.
If not tomorrow, the day after, yes; maybe day after that...

In the future of later they tighten our question further.  
 
By what they say, we’ll be better off tomorrow.
May the God of Ready Money help us all.
Today’s blood, sweat and tears
will be yesterday’s by tomorrow.

By what they say...
(I say no, I say no...)

As many hooks, so much remorse! 

We’ll know the truth tomorrow.
