Will Hoge - Times Are Not Changing lyrics

Hey, old man. Remember 1964? With your hair long and curly trying to end the damn war? When peace signs and marches shook you to the core? But here we are again and I don't see you no more For the times, they are not changing It's the same as it was once before You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle And now you just don't care anymore Then the 70's came and you got a real job You bought a house in the suburbs on a half acre lot They started busing in children, and you quit smokin pot The prices went higher, and the whole world was shot And the times, they are not changing It's the same as it was once before You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle And now you just don't care anymore Then the 80's swept in with a new set of rules And you sent your kids off to private, lily white schools Kept your hand-me-down money, and your millionaires j**els Gave em food stamps and welfare, don't complain you poor fools Cause the times, they are not changing It's the same as it was once before You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle And now you just don't care anymore From the 90's til now, not a whole lot has changed The rich folks keep the winnings, and make the rules to the game And expect us somehow, just to feel lucky to play But we see it all get harder, and harder each day And the times, they are not changing It's the same as it was once before You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle And now you just don't care anymore Now if this song hurts your feelings That don't mean it ain't true Just probably means we're singing about you The times, the are not changing Its the same as it was once before You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle And now you just don't care anymore As soon as you got a little, you turned your back on the middle, and you just don't care anymore Will Hoge The Times They Are Not Changing
