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 neglectbr> 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
