Things Ain't What They Used to Be Songtext
Got so weary of bein′ nothin',
Felt so dreary just doin′ nothin'
Didn't care ever gettin′ nothin′, felt so low Now my eyes on the far horizon can see a glow
Announcin' things ain′t what they used to be.
No use bein' a doubtin′ Thomas,
No ignorin' that rosy promise;
Now I know there′s a happy story yet to come.
It's the dawn of a day of glory: millennium
I tell you things ain't what they used to be.
Felt so dreary just doin′ nothin'
Didn't care ever gettin′ nothin′, felt so low Now my eyes on the far horizon can see a glow
Announcin' things ain′t what they used to be.
No use bein' a doubtin′ Thomas,
No ignorin' that rosy promise;
Now I know there′s a happy story yet to come.
It's the dawn of a day of glory: millennium
I tell you things ain't what they used to be.
