Yesterday's Men
An insolent speck of youth
Being taken for a walk
So tightly by the ear
That he can hardly talk
Yesterday's men, hang on 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
Marathon
Has been held today
But who you need to catch
Will be coming the other way
Yesterday's men, hang on to today
To sing, 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 run
And you already know
Because when you're told to stop
Stop!
How far will you go?
When your race is run
And you already know
Yesterday's men, hang on to today
Hang on
To sing, 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?
(Saxophone)
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Hang on
Yesterday's men, hang to today
Hang on
To sing, 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-do-do-do
Hang on
In the long run.
Being taken for a walk
So tightly by the ear
That he can hardly talk
Yesterday's men, hang on 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
Marathon
Has been held today
But who you need to catch
Will be coming the other way
Yesterday's men, hang on to today
To sing, 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 run
And you already know
Because when you're told to stop
Stop!
How far will you go?
When your race is run
And you already know
Yesterday's men, hang on to today
Hang on
To sing, 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?
(Saxophone)
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Hang on
Yesterday's men, hang to today
Hang on
To sing, 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-do-do-do
Hang on
In the long run.
