Things Ain't What They Used to Be Lyrics

Open your eyes so you could see
What's going on in the world today
Uh, something ain't right babe
It's easy to see
Take a look around, people were dying
Oh, look deep in the eyes, the world...
Yeah, tell them they could change right now
For the children of the world!

As I'm getting older
The world is getting colder
Life is getting harder
Don't know where we go
Things ain't what it used to be, oh oh!
Looking at the world today
Made you feel... the sorrow
Life is getting harder
Don't know where we go
Things ain't what it used to be!
Na, na, na, na
Things ain't what it used to be
Every day is a fight, it's so hard to live
In this material world money is always in, oh no
We're fighting alone
Still, no one knows what we're flightiness for
Children are starving...
The chemical gas in the air make it hard to breathe
Uh, uh and what's going on up there, don't want us to see!
Oh, oh, oh!

As I'm getting older
The world is getting colder
Life is getting harder
Don't know where we go
Things ain't what it used to be, oh oh!
Looking at the world today
Made you feel... the sorrow
Life is getting harder
Don't know where we go
Things ain't what it used to be!
Na, na, na, na
Things ain't what it used to be
I wanna know
Look deep in the world leader,
Look deep in the eyes of leaders, yeah
Tell them they could change right now
For the children of the world!

As I'm getting older
The world is getting colder
Life is getting harder
Don't know where we go
Things ain't what it used to be, oh oh!
Looking at the world today
Made you feel... the sorrow
Life is getting harder
Don't know where we go
Things ain't what it used to be!
