Tomorrow Lyrics

Wake up in the morning, pull myself out of bed
Think about the night before and everything I said
I made lots of promises I know that I can't keep
So I'll do it tomorrow,
That seems like a pretty good idea to me

Life is moving faster, I can feel it everyday
I've got trouble keeping up
With what other people say
Big problems in the world
My life's just a social swirl

But I'll do it tomorrow
That seems like a pretty good idea to me
What's wrong with tomorrow?
I'm watching him but who's watching me?

Out my window there's nothing where a city used to be
Phone line dead, the power gone
There's nothing on TV
Can't understand what happened to
All the plans I made
I turn on the radio and hear the signal fade
But I'll do it tomorrow

Life is moving faster, I can feel it everyday
So I'll do it tomorrow
That seems like a pretty good idea to me

What's wrong with tomorrow?
I'm watching him but who's watching me?
I'll do it tomorrow
If I got enough time
I'll do it tomorrow
And things'll be fine
Can't spare today
I'll do it tomorrow
That'll be OK
I'll do it tomorrow
Let's do it tomorrow
What's wrong with tomorrow?
I'll stop the clock
Let's do it tomorrow
Talk, talk, talk
Let's do it tomorrow
I'll do it tomorrow
What's wrong with tomorrow?

Life just goes on now
I'll do it tomorrow
Money starts rolling in
What's wrong with tomorrow?

Life is moving faster, I can feel it everyday
I've got trouble keeping up 
With what other people say
Big problems in the world
My life's just a social swirl

But I'll do it tomorrow
That seems like a pretty good idea to me
What's wrong with tomorrow?  
I'm watching him but who's watching me?

Out my window there's nothing where a city used to be
Phone line dead, the power gone 
There's nothing on TV
Can't understand what happened to 
All the plans I made
I turn on the radio and hear the signal fade
But I'll do it tomorrow

Life is moving faster, I can feel it everyday
So I'll do it tomorrow
That seems like a pretty good idea to me

What's wrong with tomorrow?  
I'm watching him but who's watching me?
I'll do it tomorrow
If I got enough time
I'll do it tomorrow
And things'll be fine
Can't spare today
I'll do it tomorrow
That'll be OK
I'll do it tomorrow
Let's do it tomorrow
What's wrong with tomorrow?
I'll stop the clock
Let's do it tomorrow
Talk, talk, talk
Let's do it tomorrow
I'll do it tomorrow
What's wrong with tomorrow?

Life just goes on now
I'll do it tomorrow
Money starts rolling in
What's wrong with tomorrow?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This songs lyrics have a very post-apocalyptic theme to them. Particularly when Stan sings "out my window there's nothin where a city used to be, phone line dead the power gone there's nothin on TV! cant understand what happened to, all the plans I made! I turn on the radio and hear the signal fade...." Given that this song was written and recorded in 1982, it reminds me of someone waking up to the aftermath of a nuclear war and thinking of how trivial and superficial his life focuses have been.
