Yesterdays (2011 remastered) Songtext
von Cold Chisel

Baby, that′s ok, I'll live to fight another day
Black man, on the ropes
At Jimmy Sharman′s fighting ring
I've seen a lot of things before I had the time to sort them through
I'm takin′ time for you

Yesterdays are gone, we don′t need them now
After all is said and never done
Take a long-term view
Everybody blows a few
It's a game, it′s a game, it's a game, and it′s the only one


Young man, gettin' old, watching elevators fold, yeah
Doctor, you know me, wrap me up when nights are cold
Last night I walked through miles of closed arcades and home again
I′m tired but alive
I know that you are too

Yesterdays are gone, we don't need them now
After all is said and never done
Take a long-term view
Everybody blows a few
It's a game, it′s a game, it′s a game, and it's the only one

I′ve worked in better times
When I survived to see things in their prime
I know that you will too

Yesterdays are gone, we don't need them now
After all is said and never done
Take a long-term view
Everybody blows a few
It′s a game, it's a game, it′s a game, and it's the only one
