old men saying that the past was better

old men saying that the past was better

life was lived slower, with us all together

mother, father, children and grandchildren too

and who lived next door, your neighbours knew you

bitter old men living in the past

your days have come and passed

Old men talking ‘bout how standards have fallen

how the young got no respect,

how the future has been stolen

by rootless upstarts

with closed off hearts

bitter old men living in the past

your days have come and passed
