That Was Then, This Is Now Songtext

von Re-Animator

The earth is round not flat you say
You heretic you small die,
The word of God dictates that
No man will ever fly.
Space junk in the atmosphere
No water from the lake,
Earthquakes, typhoons, famine + war!!
One fuck off big mistake

That was then, this is now
Don't wanna be part of your political row
Sick advocation of your military tools
Straight jacket valves – with diver shoes
That was then, this is now
Break the myth, kill the sacred cow
You take convention & those pretty rules
Straight jacket valves – with divers shoes

What went on, behind closed doors
In the moralistic days,
Locked away, abortions killed
Only the innocent paid.
Now it's S + M on James Whale
Gay Clubs on the street
There's donkeys on my video
Aids the deadly treat.

With my black and amber rattle
And my black and amber scarf,
Who's the bastard in the black?!
Bright passions burning dark
Eight million for a player
Now it's superleague as well
The small clubs getting' poorer
The games dyin' can't you tell?
