[Verse 1]
Sometimes when I drive home
In the middle of the night
I pass a bread machine and brake at full power
I want to avoid a disaster
Because there is enough stress already
Oh miracle of technology
I buy a loaf of bread
[Hook]
Bread for tomorrow morning
[Verse 2]
Then I hear on the night news
On the car radio
Dead-normal the words “the world just goes like this”
And there's an ocean of turbulent water ahead
Then I think, "but luckily I have bread"
[Hook]
Bread for tomorrow morning
[Chorus]
Why madness defeated reason
I have no idea, but I do have a loaf of bread for tomorrow
[Verse 3]
It's a shame but I'm not very good at saving planets
I have to ask Bono how you do something like that
And why madness defeated common sense
But that's a worry for later
We have bread
[Hook]
Bread for tomorrow morning
[Chorus]
Why madness defeated reason
I have no idea, but I do have a loaf of bread for tomorrow
Why madness defeated reason
I have no idea, but I do have a loaf of bread
[Hook]
Bread for tomorrow morning
[Bridge]
Let's say the planet pulverises
To a pathetic heap of grit
Then I say that's a shame
But I do have a loaf of bread
And suppose I knew what the damage claim amounted to
Then I say that could be
But we have bread
[Hook]
Bread for tomorrow morning
[Chorus]
Why madness defeated reason
I have no idea but I do have a loaf of bread for tomorrow
Why madness defeated reason
I have no idea but I do have a loaf of bread
[Hook]
Bread for tomorrow morning
