Yesterday

All those backups seemed a waste of pay

Now my database has gone away

Oh I believe in yesterday

Suddenly

There's not half the files there used to be

And there's a milestone hanging over me

The system crashed so suddenly

I pushed

Something wrong

What it was I could not say

Now all

My data's gone

And I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay

Yesterday

The need for backups seemed so far away

I knew my data was all there to stay

Now I believe in yesterday
