thing saintlike they used to be

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 aint like they used to be
You kids have got no self respect
Wake up old man to your neglect
Its dog eat dog
Its hand to mouth
Its east and west
Its north and south
Just like you drummed it into me
Things aint like they used to be
Ill tell you why I cant afford
To hang my hopes upon your word
And when Im done, Ill join the queue
And take my chance, no thanks to you
Its in or out
Its stop and go
It isnt what
Its who you know
Ive heard you, now can you hear me
Things aint like they used to be
Ancient rules for ancient men
But this is now and that was then
Dont lay your heavy hand on me
And sink me in your poison sea
Its us and them
Its me and you
Its guessing games
Its what to do
Exactly like you said to me
Things aint 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
