Lyrics
The Day After Today
Here?s a story about my friend Sadie
She and Amanda went down to the lake
And they smoked it up and laughed until it hurt
And then they met their boyfriends in the band
Sadie
She kept looking around
Found her man in the arms of another girl
And then she fell down to the ground
Hey it all comes down to this
A way to lose your way
Hey it all comes down to this
The day after today
Next day Sadie went out and got a gun
Said I?m gonna make that son of a bitch pay
So she followed him to work and then the day after
Put a bullet in his brain
Hey it all comes down to this
A way to lose your way
Hey it all comes down to this
The day after today
And when the shooting was over
And they carried her away
They said she never cried a tear for him
The day after today
Hey it all comes down to this
A way to lose your way
Hey it all comes down to this
The day after today
