Used To Be

Superman was killed in Dallasthere's no love left in the palaceSome one took the Beatles lead guitarHave another Chevis RegalYour twelve years old and sex is legalYour parents don't know where or who you areUsed to be the hero of the ball gameTook the time to shake the losers handUsed to be that failure only mean't you didn't tryIn a world where people gave a damnGreat big wars in little placesLook at all those frightened facesBut don't come here we just don't have the roomLove thy neighbour's wife and daughterCleanse your life with holy waterWe don't need to bathe we've got perfumeUsed to be a knight in shining armourDidn't have to own a shiny carDignity and courage were the measure of a manNot the drugs he needs to hide the scarsWoh-oh-oh-oh, woh-oh, woh-wohCan your teacher read, Does your preacher prayDoes your president have soulHave you heard a real good ethnic joke todayMama took her speed and daddy ran awayBut you mustn't lose controlLet's cut a class, I've got some grassThe kids are wild, we just can't tame 'emDo we have the right to blame ‘emSettle all our indecisionWe've wrecked their minds with televisionBut what the hell their too young to feel painOh, but I believe that love can save tomorrowI believe that truth can make us freeSome one tried to say it and we nailed him to a crossI guess it's still the way it used to be
