Nothing is the way now that it used to be
not fish and chips or money in the bank
I tell the kids about it and they give me funny looks,
it's
obvious to me that they don't give two flying fuchs
no
nothing is the way it used to be.

There'll be carbon dating carbon in the isotopes
no one cleans the pipes out anymore
and the river's full of silt from bricks of houses that
they built, the tide comes in but never makes it to the
shore.

no
nothing is the way now that it used to be
not the Monarchy, not you, not even me
and the vegans are too friendly
I think that they would like to end me
no
nothing is the way it used to be.
