THAT WAS THEN BUT THIS IS NOW


Why make the past your sacred cow?
I guess you've changed, you've changed and how, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fruit's grown rotten on the bough
Reap what you sow, with a counterfeit plough, yeah, yeah, yeah

That was then but this is now (2)

More sacrifices than an Aztec priest
Standing here straining at that leash, all fall down
Can't complain, musn't grumble
Help yourself to another peace of apple crumble

And consequently hearts of oak are charged and blistered
Russians should be baby-sitted, Americans resisted

That was then but this is now ....
