This old world ain't what it used to be
Or at least it seems that way to me

Things are made cheaper and cost a lot more
It just seemed like it was much better before

Groceries have gone up, and medicine is out of sight
If I can't pay my electric bill, I may have to read by candlelight 

What is the answer? No one seems to know
Praying to God would seem the only way to go
