"Some Stupid Tomorrow" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their seventh and final album Dead Again, released in 2007. The very first part of this track before the actual song begins features the recording of female scream-like choir from the lesbian group. This song is split into five cantos, tied three-way for second most cantos of any Type O Negative song. All other songs that are divided into at least five cantos are included on their earliest two albums–"Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity" (5), "Der Untermensch" (5), and "I Know You're Fucking Someone Else" (6). Three of them cantos of "Some Stupid Tomorrow" are unique; both of the non-title and acronym ones would reprise before this song ends following the title canto, including the last canto, which is an instrumental reprise of "IOI (In on It)" lasting for the final ten seconds of the song, making it the shortest canto by the band.

[Canto I. "ADD (A Different Day)"]
[Instrumental]
[Canto II. "IOI (In on It)"]
I can't play God, forgiveness is hard
Forgiving also hard too
I have my orders
Blood's thicker than water, though much harder to clean up
IOI in on it, IOI in on it - never forget
Punching in walls to prove I've got balls
Only got me busted knuckles
Therapy is slow, jail is a no
A rotting tit on which I suckle
IOI in on it, IOI in on it - never forget
[Canto III. "Some Stupid Tomorrow"]
Some stupid tomorrow - some stupid today
Some stupid tomorrow - go away, go away
Yesterday
Some stupid tomorrow - some stupid today
Some stupid tomorrow - go away, go away
Yesterday
[Canto IV. "ADD (A Different Day)" (reprise)]
[Instrumental]
[Canto V. "IOI (In on It)" (reprise)]
