That Was Then But This Is Now

Why make the past your sacred cow?

I guess you've changed, you've changed and how

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Fruits gone rotten on the bough

Reap what you sow with a counterfeit plough

Yeah, yeah, yeah

That was then but this is now

That was then but this is now

More sacrifices than an Aztec priest

Standing here straining at that leash

All fall down

Can't complain, mustn't grumble

Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble

And consequently

Hearts of oak are charred and blistered

Russians should be baby-sitted

Americans resisted

That was then but this is now

That was then but this is now

That was then but this is now

That was then but this is now

That was then, that was then but this is now

That was then, that was then but this is now

That was then, that was then but this is now

That was then, that was then but this is now
