[00:00.00]New Times (LP Version) - Violent Femmes
[00:00.57]New Times  New Times  New Times
[00:11.19]Good morning  Good morning  Good morning
[00:15.08]I'm the guard  At one time
[00:17.48]This was rather pleasant
[00:23.78]The poets they still had to muse
[00:26.31]Over the classicism of clean shoes
[00:29.08]But who today still knows a button stick
[00:33.93]Well  that's the new times
[00:36.59]That's the new times
[00:39.48]That's the new times
[00:45.73]The girls would lie down
[00:46.81]The girls would lie down
[00:48.10]The girls would lie down before us
[00:50.82]First one went dancing
[00:52.22]First one went dancing
[00:53.49]First one went dancing then behind the bushes
[01:00.22]Today you have to run through twenty places
[01:02.86]Get drunk on saccharin and methy forn
[01:05.44]And then you still don't get them that far
[01:10.33]Well  that's the new times
[01:13.49]That's the new times
[01:15.96]That's the new times
[01:22.12]Now take it easy there in the early morning
[01:29.62]Who arrives but the brethren from the press
[01:35.51]Now take it easy there in the early morning
[01:41.93]Who arrives but the brethren from the press
[01:47.53]If somewhere there lies a cadaver
[01:50.04]Or something is foul in the state
[01:54.68]You can be sure that a writer is not far behind
[02:01.14]With his Excellency I only say:
[02:07.13]Hands off
[02:08.35]Hands off
[02:09.50]Hands off the literature
[03:04.78]The laurel wreath one gets today
[03:07.27]Second hand so to speak
[03:09.92]From the old Empire's stories
[03:12.40]Sold underhand at the Alexanderplatz
[03:16.61]With all the wigs and costumes
[03:19.44]Twitching from the shoulder one is informed
[03:26.32]Well  that's the new times
[03:29.25]That's the new times
[03:32.05]That's the new times
[03:37.65]That's the new times
[03:40.03]That's the new times
[03:42.74]That's the new times
[03:48.86]New times  New times  New times
