|
An insolent speck of youth |
|
Being taken for a walk |
|
So tightly by the ear |
|
That he can hardly talk |
|
Yesterday's men hang on to today |
|
To sing in the old fashioned way |
|
It must get better in the long run |
|
Has to get better in the long run |
|
A metropolitan marathon |
|
Has been held today |
|
But who you need to catch |
|
Will be coming the other way |
|
Yesterday's men hang on to today |
|
To sing in any old way |
|
It must get better in the long run |
|
Has to get better in the long run |
|
Because when you're told to start |
|
How far can you go |
|
When your race is won |
|
And you already know |
|
Because when you're told to stop |
|
How far will you go |
|
When your race is run |
|
And you already know |
|
Yesterday's men hang on to today |
|
To sing in any old way |
|
It must get better in the long run |
|
Has to get better in the long run |
|
Will it get better in the long run |
|
Will we be here in the long run |
|
Yesterday's men hang on to today |
|
To sing in any old way |
|
It must get better in the long run |
|
Has to get better in the long run |
|
Will it get better in the long run |
|
Will we be here in the long run |
|
Do do do do do do hang on in the long run |
