Yesterday's Folks Songtext
von US69

I can remember, when your daddy used to be a preacher
He used to set you on his knee, and tell you things
But now those years have gone by and your daddy can hardly reach you
Ever since the first time that you hurt your pretty thing

Your mom was worried ′bout your family's reputation
You lived on top of the hill and you got a good name
But she don′t understand that you come from a generation
That's gettin' sick ′n′ tired of this silly social game

Can't tell a woman nothin′
'Cause a man don′t make the same

Soon you'll be old enough to move up on your own
Then you can have the time to see who you really are
It′s often said that your mommy and your daddy are so alone
But they can't help themselves, they haven't traveled very far


Maybe some day they′ll get there
But it ain′t gonna be by car

I got lot's of good friends
People who wanna help you
Let me introduce you
To my friends
People with good vibrations
Without hesitations
They have found the secret
To a love that never ends

Now, in fact it′s just beginning
Take a look around you, you can see it in the air
Yet, all the old folks of yesterday, wonder why we're grinning
They′re all hung up on things like war and phony hair

You better leave them behind you
'Cause those people don′t really care. But I know you do, girl

Whoa- such a new fear's goin' down
