An insolent speck of youth Being taken for a walk So tightly by the ear That he can hardly talk
Yesterday's men hang to today To sing in the old-fashioned way It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run
A metropolitan marathon Has been held today But who you need to catch Will be coming the other way
Yesterday's men hang to today To sing in any old way It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run
Because when you're told to start How far can you go When your race is won And you already know Because when you're told to stop How far will you go When your race is run And you already know
Yesterday's men hang to today, To sing in any old way, It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run Will it get better in the long run Will we be here in the long run
Yesterday's men hang to today, To sing in any old way, It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run Will it get better in the long run Will we be here in the long run
