Things Ain't Like They Used To Be Songtext / Lyric

Are you wonderin' why no one talks anymore

And all you hear is the cry for war

Are you wonderin' if there are people who

Hurt inside the same as you



There are gray-faced men always tellin' 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 wonderin' why no one talks anymore

And all you hear is the cry for war

Are you wonderin' 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 wonderin' why no one talks anymore

And all you hear is the cry for war

Are you wonderin' if there are people who

Hurt inside the same as you



Are you wonderin' why, no one talks anymore

And all you hear is the cry of war

Are you wonderin' 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
