Things Ain't What They Used To BeGot 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 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 |
