YESTERDAY LIFE

         Yesterday life was such an interesting game to play.

                  They were rioting times,
                  They were loving times,
                  They were demonstrating times,
                  They were revolutionary times.
         
                  Woodstock
                  Vietnam
                  O'leary
                  JFK
                  RFK
                  MLK
                  Watts
                  Greenwich
                  Haight & Asbury
                  Beatles
                  Stones
                  Apollo
                  et al

         Is today no different?
         
         The words of a song say,
         "O my friend, we're older but no wiser,
          For in our hearts the dreams are still the same."
         
                  US festival

                  Afghanistan

                  Punk rock
                  PacMan
                  Computers
                  Video
                  Watergate
                  Nukes
                  Abortion
                  ERA
                  et al
         
         They spoke of revolution before us
         We speak of revolution today
         They'll speak of revolution after us
         Viva la revolution!
         
         Yesterday's forever young; is that not what we lust for?
         Today's forever present; is that not what we live for?
         Tomorrow's forever old; is that not what we die for?
         
         Yesterday's gone; remember the memories.
         Today's here; live like it was yesterday.
         Tomorrow's future; let the kids take care of tomorrow.
