Times Are Not Changing (Live)

Hey old man, remember 1964

With your hair long and curly, trying to end the damn war

With your peace signs and marches that shook you to the core

But here we are again and I don't see you no more

And the times, they are not changing

It's the same as it was once before

You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle

And now you just don't care anymore

Then the 70s came and you got a real job

You bought a house in the suburbs on a half-acre lot

They started bussing in children and you quit smoking pot

The oil prices went higher, you say the whole world is shot

And the times, they are not changing

It's the same as it was once before

You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle

And now you just don't care anymore

Well then the 80s swept in with a new set of rules

You sent your kids off to private, all lily-white schools

Kept all your hand-me-down money and your millionaire's jewels

Giving food stamps and welfare, don't complain, you poor fools

And the times, they are not changing

It's the same as it was once before

You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle

And now you just don't care anymore

Well from the 90s 'til now, not a whole lot has changed

The rich folks keep the winnings, make the rules to the games

And they expect us somehow to just feel lucky to play

But we see it all get harder and harder each day

And the times, they are not changing

It's the same as it was once before

You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle

And now you just don't care anymore

Well if this song hurts your feelings

Well that don't mean it ain't true

Nah, it just means that I'm probably singing 'bout you

And the times, they are not changing

It's the same as it was once before

You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle

And now you just don't care anymore

Soon as you got a little, turned your back on the middle

And now you just don't care anymore
