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

Written by：Bob Mould[00:00:01]

Found a book of interest the other day[00:00:21]

Compositions for the young and old to sing[00:00:24]

Poems written many years ago[00:00:33]

They told of family and hope and other things[00:00:38]

Put together in the old days[00:00:47]

When fifteen cents it was a buck[00:00:51]

That's when five would get you ten[00:00:59]

Before it took you eight just to get you one[00:01:04]

Some people they don't care when they're down on their[00:01:12]

Luck[00:01:17]

Cheap thrills are awful hard to find these days[00:01:22]

No one is amused for free[00:01:25]

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

You'd better run and see who it is[00:01:34]

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[00:01:55]

Until they closed it down now there's nowhere to go[00:01:59]

Things used to be so simple long time ago[00:02:09]

Now everything is so expensive and complicated[00:02:12]

I hear you need a license for just about anything[00:02:17]

I no found ohh yeah[00:02:23]

Used to be that a handshake was a man's word[00:02:29]

Now we settle arguments in court[00:02:33]

No one anyone's intentions anymore[00:02:46]

Rummaging through the attic when I'm home[00:03:22]

It brings back those memories to me[00:03:26]

I'd amuse myself when I was small[00:03:35]

When I was younger the simplest things would do[00:03:39]

Now I'm on everybody's mailing list[00:03:48]

For things I can't afford to buy[00:03:52]

I hear the weatherman[00:04:00]

He says it looks like rain for a while[00:04:05]

I guess I'll have to stay inside[00:04:09]

Make peanut butter sandwiches and cry[00:04:14]
