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

[00:00:01] Written by：Bob Mould

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:17] Luck

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:55] Going to the local swimming hole

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:00] I hear the weatherman

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

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

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