That Was Then But This Is Now Songtext / Lyric

Why make the past your sacred cow?
I guess you’ve changed, you’ve changed and how
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fruits grown rotten on the bough
reap what you sow,
with a counterfeit plough
Yeah, eyah, yeah.
That was then, but this is now
That was then, but this is now

More sacrifices than an aztec priest
standing here straining at that leash
All fall down, can’t complain,
mustn’t grumble,
help yourself to another piece of apple crumble
And consequently, hearts of oak are charked
and blistered russia’s should be baby sitted,
Americans enlisted.

That was then, but this is now
That was then, but this is now
That was then, but this is now
That was then, but this is now
