Loudon Wainwright III
No Tomorrow
When to the gun store to stock up on ammo
But the shelves were all empty - where did it all go?
The dude at the counter he shrugged his shoulder
And said, "Folks are hoarding ordinance like there's no tomorrow."
I just had birthday, man it was a big one
Time's running out, where the hell did it go?
When you're blowing out candles that's when it hits you
You might as well live like there's no tomorrow
Oh, no tomorrow - yesterday's gone
You got to live for today, you knew it all along
Tomorrow might get it but there's no way to know
So live for today, there's no tomorrow
The drunk on the corner ain't got much of a future
Drink is gonna kill him, that much he might know
He don't wanna die, that fear keeps him livin'
But he keeps right on drinking that's 'cause no tomorrow
A fool and his money they're gonna part company
Won't take him too long his whole wad to blow
But look at the miser, constipated, can't spend it
Get off the toilet, man there's no tomorrow
Yeah, no tomorrow - yesterday's gone
You got to live for the day, you knew that all along
And maybe you'll get it, but there's no way to know, yeah
Live for today, there's no tomorrow
All right
Now Harry just lies there, for him there's no future
My dog's pretty dumb, but one thing he does
He's livin' every day, every day is a dog day
He's livin' every day like there's no tomorrow
Tomorrow is comin' unless it don't get here
Somthin' might happen, there's no way to know
Yesterday's history, gone like a memory
Got to start livin' like there's no tomorrow
Yes sir, no tomorrow - yesterday's gone
You got to live for the day, you knew that all along
And maybe it'll get here but there's no way to know
No way -
Live for today - there's no tomorrow
Last night was a bad one, felt like it was over
Maybe we're history, hell, I don't know
Let's hold hands this morning, it's time to start over
Start living and loving like there's no tomorrow
Last time
No tomorrow - yesterday's gone
You got to live for today, you knew that all along
Tomorrow might get it but there's no way to know
So live for today - there's no tomorrow
