Ub 40

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

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 neglectbr> 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

Mirror lyrics:

Hurt inside the same as you
There are people who
Are you wondering if
Is the cry for war
And all you hear
No one talks any more
Are you wondering why

(chorus)

Things ain't like they used to be
Exactly like you said to me
It's what to do
It's guessing games
It's me and you
It's us and them
And sink me in your poison sea
Don't lay your heavy hand on me
But this is now and that was then
Ancient rules for ancient men

Things ain't like they used to be
I've heard you, now can you hear me
It's who you know
It isn't what
It's stop and go
It's in or out
And take my chance, no thanks to you
And when I'm done, I'll join the queue
To hang my hopes upon your word
I'll tell you why I can't afford

Things ain't like they used to be
Just like you drummed it into me
It's north and south
It's east and west
It's hand to mouth
Wake up old man to your neglectbr> it's dog eat dog
You kids have got no self respect
Things ain't like they used to be
There are grey-faced men always telling me

Hurt inside the same as you
There are people who
Are you wondering if
Is the cry for war
And all you hear
No one talks any more
Are you wondering why
