Yesterday,
All those back-ups 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 back-ups seemed so far away. I knew my data was all here
to stay,

Now I believe in yesterday.
