It's Not Like That Anymore - Morphine

Why can’t it be like the old days

When everybody got along

Everybody was so nice and kind to each other

Everybody had a job

Why can’t be like the old days

When only the strong survived

And morality was rewarded with a serenity

That we can’t even imagine anymore?

Why can’t it be like the old days

When we lived in caves all winter

Hiding and eating bear fat

And chewing carcasses for nourishment

Until spring came and we could

Go outisde and club a rabbit?

It’s not like that anymore, no, no

It’s not like that anymore.

Why can’t it be like the old days

When the men wore tight hats

And society worshiped a woman’s big fat ass?

I’ll say it again:

Why can’t it be like the old days

When the men wore tight hats

And society worshiped a woman’s big fat ass?

It’s not like that anymore, no, no

It’s not like that anymore.

Why can’t it be like the old days

When everybody got along

Everybody hat a place called home

Everybody had a job?

Why can’t it be like the old days

When everybody had respect

For old white men

And out of wedlock sex?

It’s not like that anymore, no, no

It’s not like that anymore.
