《Compositions For The Young And Old(Live At Cabaret Metro， Chicago / 1989)》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:35] 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:49] I hear the weatherman

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

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

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