An insolent speck of youth
|
Being taken for a walk
|
So tightly by the ear
|
That he can hardly talk
|
|
Yesterday's men hang to today
|
To sing in the old-fashioned way
|
It must get better in the long run
|
Has to get better in the long run
|
|
A metropolitan marathon
|
Has been held today
|
But who you need to catch
|
Will be coming the other way
|
|
Yesterday's men hang to today
|
To sing in any old way
|
It must get better in the long run
|
Has to get better in the long run
|
|
Because when you're told to start
|
How far can you go
|
When your race is won
|
And you already know
|
Because when you're told to stop
|
How far will you go
|
When your race is run
|
And you already know
|
|
Yesterday's men hang to today,
|
To sing in any old way,
|
It must get better in the long run
|
Has to get better in the long run
|
Will it get better in the long run
|
Will we be here in the long run
|
|
Yesterday's men hang to today,
|
To sing in any old way,
|
It must get better in the long run
|
Has to get better in the long run
|
Will it get better in the long run
|
Will we be here in the long run
|
|
Do, do, do, hang on in the long run.
