    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
