The Moderner - Things Ain't the Way They Used to Be

Let's pack it up and move along
To another town and another song
About the way things used to be
All dressed up in empathy

Let's pick it up where we left off
That last album wasn't good enough
And things ain't the way they used to be
They're all dressed up in apathy

Things ain't the way they used to be
This modern life is killin' me
Things ain't the way they used to be
The road's the only home I'll ever see

Hey, get down off your burnin' cross
You're lookin' found yet lost
But, have you ever known the cost
Of weeping willows whispering tenderly

Hey, get down off your high horse
We'll pack it up and move along
And let not the weeping be too long
Just let the sea sing it's song

Things ain't the way they used to be
Yesterday has been and gone you see
Things ain't the way they used to be
The modern age is killin' me

Things ain't the way they used to be
And it may be tough to let that be
Let's all stand on the river and see
Let the water rush - let it comfort me

Let's pack it up and move along
And let the sea just sing it's song
'Cause things ain't the way they used to be
And the road's the only home I'll ever see

And I'm stickin' round
'Til the sun sets East
Things ain't the way they used to be, yeah
