Why make the past your sacred cow?

I guess you've changed, you've changed and how

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Fruit's grown rotten on the bough

Reap what you sow, with a counterfeit plough

Yeah, yeah, yeah



That was then but this is now

That was then but this is now



More sacrifices than an aztec priest
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/a/abc/that+was+then+but+this+is+now_20003098.html ]
Standing here straining at that leash

All fall down

Can't complain, musn't grumble

Help yourself to another peace of apple crumble

And consequently:

Hearts of oak are charged and blistered

Russians should be baby-sitted

Americans enlisted



That was then but this is now

That was then but this is now

That was then but this is now
