The Future Ain't What It Used to Be

Baby, this world keeps breaking my heart If I didn't have you, I swear it'd tear me apart There ain't enough money, there ain't enough time I'm either dragging all my dread around or scraping up dimes The future ain't what it used to be I'm not even sure it was originally We can't afford to live in the land of the free The future ain't what it used to be Anyone can make it in the USA All you have to do is just struggle and pray Taught how to smile, but never taught to weep You shouldn't make a promise that you can't keep The future ain't what it used to be I'm not even sure it was originally We can't afford to live in the land of the free The future ain't what it used to be Jesus was a CEO Now he's got a TV show Sure he's got a lot of dough Got it fair and square, though Didn't lie, didn't cheat Other folks just can't compete Saw you sleeping on the street Why'd you think I'm packing heat? The future ain't what it used to be I'm not even sure it was originally We can't afford to live in the land of the free The future ain't what it used to be
