Lyrics:Ub40 Music:Ub40 | |
Chorus | |
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 | |
Chorus | |
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 |
