So tell me, Mama, 'cause you know it's true Weren't you talking about a revolution? Just postponed by the phone and forgot about it And tell me, Dad, do you remember this pearl? "This generation's gonna change the world" Took a doze, I suppose, and forgot about it
Time is not on our side so No talking about the past
The single saddest song you ever did sing Burned like kindling 'til tomorrow weighed in On the lines that "the times are a-changin'"
Ain't love just the strangest thing? We waste it on diamond rings Too late now to turn back time So come on and do the lame duck jive tonight
