Used to Be (Live)

歌詞

Superman was killed in Dallas There's no love left in the palace Someone took the Beatle's lead guitar Have another Chivas Regal Your twelve years old and sex is legal Your parents don't know where or who you are Used to be the hero of the ball game Took the time to shake the loser's hand Used to be that failure only meant you didn't try In a world where people gave a damn Great big wars in little places Look at all those frightened faces But don't come here we just don't got the room Love thy neighbor's wife and daughter You cleanse your life with holy water Hey we don't need to bathe we've got perfume Used to be a knight in shining armor Didn't have to own a shiny car 'Coz dignity and courage were the measure of a man And not the drugs he needs to hide his scars Can your teacher read Does your preacher pray Does your president have soul Have you heard a real good ethnic joke today Mama took her speed And daddy ran away But you mustn't lose control You see the kids are wild we just can't tame 'em Do we have a right to blame 'em We fed them all our indecision And raped their minds with television But what the hell They're too young to feel pain But I believe that love will save tomorrow I believe that truth will make us free Someone tried to say it and we nailed him to a cross I guess it's still the way it used to be
