YESTERDAY

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 back-ups seemed so far away. 
I knew my data was all here to stay, 
Now I believe in yesterday.
