Things Ain't Like They Used To Be |
| Are you wondering why |
| No one talks any more |
| And all you hear |
| Is the cry for war |
| Are you wondering if |
| There are people who |
| Hurt inside the same as you |
| There are grey-faced men always telling me |
| Things ain’t like they used to be |
| You kids have got no self respect |
| Wake up old man to your neglect |
| It’s dog eat dog |
| It’s hand to mouth |
| It’s east and west |
| It’s north and south |
| Just like you drummed it into me |
| Things ain’t like they used to be |
| I’ll tell you why I can’t afford |
| To hang my hopes upon your word |
| And when I’m done, I’ll join the queue |
| And take my chance, no thanks to you |
| It’s in or out |
| It’s stop and go |
| It isn’t what |
| It’s who you know |
| I’ve heard you, now can you hear me |
| Things ain’t like they used to be |
| Ancient rules for ancient men |
| But this is now and that was then |
| Don’t lay your heavy hand on me |
| And sink me in your poison sea |
| It’s us and them |
| It’s me and you |
| It’s guessing games |
| It’s what to do |
| Exactly like you said to me |
| Things ain’t like they used to be |
| Are you wondering why |
| No one talks any more |
| And all you hear |
| Is the cry for war |
| Are you wondering if |
| There are people who |
| Hurt inside the same as you |
