The Future Ain't What It Used To Be
Baby, this world keeps breaking my heart 
If I didn't have you, I swear it'd tear me apart 
There ain't enough money, there ain't enough time 
I'm either dragging all my dread around or scraping up dimes 

The future ain't what it used to be 
I'm not even sure it was originally 
We can't afford to live in the land of the free 
The future ain't what it used to be 

Anyone can make it in the USA 
All you have to do is just struggle and pray 
Taught how to smile, but never taught to weep 
You shouldn't make a promise that you can't keep 

The future ain't what it used to be 
I'm not even sure it was originally 
We can't afford to live in the land of the free 
The future ain't what it used to be 

Jesus was a CEO 
Now he's got a TV show 
Sure he's got a lot of dough 
Got it fair and square, though 
Didn't lie, didn't cheat 
Other folks just can't compete 
Saw you sleeping on the street 
Why'd you think I'm packing heat? 

The future ain't what it used to be 
I'm not even sure it was originally 
We can't afford to live in the land of the free 
The future ain't what it used to be
