Old Ways Worked

The Old Ways Worked Oh 50 years passed by with the flick of an eye and our people got so soft don't you see Back in the fifties people worked oh so hard just to bring home the bacon for ye Well the machines oh they came and the work it all went till there was nothing to do don't you see it was better back then when the kids had respect for their elders who sired them with glee Oh the people grow fat for there's nothing to do no crowbar or shovel for ye No sweat of the brow of a days work well done and a cold beer at sunset for me…. Minority groups have stuffed up the world full of great ideas so they think So now the kids are out of control anarchy comes to the bar for a drink… Oh I got the cane at school yes too right.. teachers got some respect just from me.. I didn't steal cars & didn't do time and I’m drugs and alcohol free? ……..Don Johnson
