Looking for Today Lyrics
It's complete but obsolete,
All tomorrows become yesterday.
In demand but second hand,
It's been heard before you even play, yeah.
Up to date but came too late,
Better get yourself another name.
You're so right but overnight,
You're the one who has to take the blame, yeah.
Ev'ryone just gets on top of you.
The pain begins to eat your pride.
You can't believe in anything you knew.
When was the last time that you cried?
Yea, yeah.
Don't delay you're in today
But tomorrow is another dream.
Sunday's star is Monday's scar,
Out of date before you're even seen, yeah.
At the top so quick to flop,
You're so new but rotting in decay.
Like butterfly so quick to die,
But you're only looking for today, yeah.
Ev'ryone just gets on top of you.
The pain begins to eat your pride.
You can't believe in anything you knew.
When was the last time that you cried?
Yea, yeah.
Looking for today,
Looking for today,
Looking for today,
Looking for today,
Looking for today.
Listen!
Glamour trip so soon to slip,
Easy come but oh how quick it goes.
Ten foot tall but what a fall,
Hard to open yet so easy to close, yeah.
Front page news but so abused,
You just want to hide yourself away.
Over-paid, but soon you fade
Because you're only looking for today, Yeah.
Looking for today, looking for today,
Looking for today, looking for today,
Looking for today, looking for today,
Looking for today, looking for today,
Looking for today, looking for today,
Looking for today, looking for today.
All tomorrows become yesterday.
In demand but second hand,
It's been heard before you even play, yeah.
Up to date but came too late,
Better get yourself another name.
You're so right but overnight,
You're the one who has to take the blame, yeah.
The pain begins to eat your pride.
You can't believe in anything you knew.
When was the last time that you cried?
Yea, yeah.
But tomorrow is another dream.
Sunday's star is Monday's scar,
Out of date before you're even seen, yeah.
At the top so quick to flop,
You're so new but rotting in decay.
Like butterfly so quick to die,
But you're only looking for today, yeah.
The pain begins to eat your pride.
You can't believe in anything you knew.
When was the last time that you cried?
Yea, yeah.
Looking for today,
Looking for today,
Looking for today,
Looking for today.
Glamour trip so soon to slip,
Easy come but oh how quick it goes.
Ten foot tall but what a fall,
Hard to open yet so easy to close, yeah.
Front page news but so abused,
You just want to hide yourself away.
Over-paid, but soon you fade
Because you're only looking for today, Yeah.
Looking for today, looking for today,
Looking for today, looking for today,
Looking for today, looking for today,
Looking for today, looking for today,
Looking for today, looking for today.

Due to recent advances in technology for media, we find that information can be quickly spread, much faster than in the past. Unfortunately, as an adverse side effect, we find that, due to how quickly information spreads, many things are frequently outdated, such as technology or language. Modern colloquialisms quickly change with word of mouth, so it becomes harder for the human brain to adapt to these advancements in language. Technology is frequently outdated, making it dangerous to work on technology lest it no longer have a use, making it so that technology can only be advanced by people with a lot of money who can take the risk. There are many other adverse effects as a result of the improvement of media, but I couldn't go into all of 'em, particularly since I don't know that much on the subject myself. This is what I believe this song is about.
@LordRetard It's about prostitution. Every one just gets on top of you the pain begins to eat your pride. They only think about me now today. Front page new but so abused PROSTITUTION hide yourself away PROSTITUTION over paid but soon you fade PROSTITUTION

This is one of Sabbath's best songs.
Its about never being in check with the world around you, whether it be music,style,technology you never seem to with it, so he is looking for today. Which he never finds...
I think it's about the pressure of the music business. Looking for today make that number one hit forget about how your music will stand the test of time Don't delay you're in today But tomorrow is another dream Sunday's star is Monday's scar Out of date before you're even seen Get that hit make your money forget about your legacy.
At the top so quick to flop You're so new but rotting in decay Like butterfly so quick to die But you're only looking for today Your just looking for that hit single Thank God Sabbath wasn't looking for today And their music stood the test of time
i think lord retard is right. the flute gives us a kind of a yesterday feeling, right?
It only proves that nothing has changed in our world since the 60's.
^ lol
It's about how situations can change in a day..
it's about the progress of technology. when the band hit the studio to record this label they realized that all the equipment they worked with on previous albums has been replaced by just one big synthesiser
I think this song is about not being able to fit into the modern world that changes so rapidly
What does this song mean to you. It says in the comment box. Stupid, I thought it was what the song means. Ask the person who wrote it what it means.
Dah, I bet if I asked Bill Ward or Ozzie Ozbourne what it's about I'd be right. It's not all this weird goofy shit I'm reading here. PROSTITUTION "Everyone just gets on top of you Prostitution The pain begins to eat your pride You can't believe in anything you knew When was the last time that you cried.
