Lyrics Ain't Nothing Like It Used to Be - Steppenwolf, John Kay

Ain't Nothing Like It Used to Be

One glass in the mornin'
Two shots at night and
Three fourths anytime
You wanna get tight
Drink wine to remember
Swill gin to forget
And blame the world for the peace
You haven’t found yet
He stood at the bar with a bottle in his hand and he
Complained so bitterly 'bout a world he could not understand
He said, «All my life, I’ve hustled and paid to survive
Can’t you see, what’s wrong with the world ain’t me?»
Ain’t nothing like it used to be
Ain’t nothing like it once was
Ain’t nothing like it ought to be
Ain’t nothing right no more
One pill in the mornin'
Two joints at night
Three spoons any time
You want to feel right
Toot coke to remember
Shoot smack to forget
And blame the world for the peace
You haven’t found yet
She said in the car with her head held in her hand
Complained so bitterly 'bout a world, she could not understand"
She said, «All my life, I’ve hustled and paid to survive
Can’t you see, what’s wrong with the world ain’t me?»
Ain’t nothing like it used to be
Ain’t nothing like it once was
Ain’t nothing like it ought to be
Ain’t nothing right no more
Get up in the mornin', give love at night
Take time for yourself when you’re losing the fight
Take care to remember, it takes time to forget
Thank God for the time, you haven’t had yet
Ain’t nothing like it used to be
Ain’t nothing like it once was
Ain’t nothing like it ought to be
You, nothing wrong no more
Ain’t nothing like it used to be
Ain’t nothing like it once was
Ain’t nothing like it ought to be
You, nothing wrong no more, yeah
