Things Ain't Like They Used To Be

Are you wondering why no one talks anymore

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 gray-faced men always telling me

That 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

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

Are you wondering why no one talks anymore?

And all you hear is the cry for war

Are you wondering if there are people who

Hurt inside the same as you?

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 anymore

And all you hear is the cry for war?

Are you wondering if there are people who

Hurt inside the same as you?

Are you wondering why no one talks anymore

And all you hear is the cry for war?

Are you wondering if there are people who

Hurt inside the same as you?

Hurt inside the same as you?

Hurt inside the same as you?

Hurt inside the same as you?

Hurt inside the same as you?

Hurt inside the same as you?

Hurt inside the same as you?

Hurt inside the same as you?
