Compositions For The Young And Old (Live) - Bob Mould[00:00:00]

Found a book of interest the other day[00:00:25]

Compositions for the young and old to sing[00:00:29]

Poems written many years ago[00:00:37]

They told of family and hope and other things[00:00:41]

Put together in the old days[00:00:50]

When fifteen cents it was a buck[00:00:54]

That's when five would get you ten[00:01:02]

Before it took you eight just to get you one[00:01:06]

Some people they don't care when they're down on their luck[00:01:14]

Cheap thrills are awful hard to find these days[00:01:23]

No one is amused for free[00:01:26]

Someone's pulling on your mama's apron strings[00:01:30]

You'd better run and see who it is[00:01:35]

Playing cards with your neighbors on the back porch[00:01:42]

Singing with an old beat-up guitar[00:01:46]

Going to the local swimming hole[00:01:54]

Until they closed it down now there's nowhere to go[00:01:58]

Things used to be so simple long time ago[00:02:07]

Now everything is so expensive and complicated[00:02:11]

I hear you need a license for just about anything[00:02:15]

Used to be that a handshake was a man's word[00:02:25]

Now we settle arguments in court[00:02:29]

No one trusts anyone's intentions anymore[00:02:37]

Rummaging through the attic when i'm home[00:03:14]

It brings back those memories to me[00:03:18]

I'd amuse myself when i was small[00:03:26]

When i was younger the simplest things would do[00:03:30]

Now i'm on everybody's mailing list[00:03:38]

For things i can't afford to buy[00:03:41]

I hear the weatherman[00:03:49]

He says "it looks like rain for a while"[00:03:53]

I guess i'll have to stay inside[00:03:58]

Make peanut butter sandwiches and cry[00:04:02]
