"It's Not Like That Anymore" lyrics

"It's Not Like That Anymore"

Why can't it be like the old days
When everybody got along
Everybody was so nice and kind to each other
Everybody had a job
Why can't be like the old days
When only the strong survived
And morality was rewarded with a serenity
That we can't even imagine anymore?

Why can't it be like the old days
When we lived in caves all winter
Hiding and eating bear fat
And chewing carcasses for nourishment
Until spring came and we could
Go outisde and club a rabbit?

No it's not like that anymore, no, no
No it's not like that anymore
No it's not like that anymore, no, no
No it's not like that anymore

No it's not like that anymore, no, no
No it's not like that anymore
No it's not like that anymore, no, no
No it's not like that anymore

Why can't it be like the old days
When the men wore tight hats
And society worshiped a woman's big fat ass?
I'll say it again:
Why can't it be like the old days
When the men wore tight hats
And society worshiped a woman's big fat ass?

No it's not like that anymore, no, no
No it's not like that anymore
No it's not like that anymore, no, no
No it's not like that anymore

No it's not like that anymore, no, no
No it's not like that anymore
No it's not like that anymore, no, no
No it's not like that anymore

Why can't it be like the old days
When everybody got along
Everybody hat a place called home
Everybody had a job?
Why can't it be like the old days
When everybody had respect
For old white men
And out of wedlock sex?

No it's not like that anymore, no, no
No it's not like that anymore
No it's not like that anymore, no, no
No it's not like that anymore

No it's not like that anymore, no, no
No it's not like that anymore
No it's not like that anymore, no, no
No it's not like that anymore
