20 Yesterday's Men lyrics
by Madness



An insolent speck of youthBeing taken for a walkSo tightly by the earThat he can hardly talkYesterday's men hang to todayTo sing in the old-fashioned wayIt must get better in the long runHas to get better in the long runA metropolitan marathonHas been held todayBut who you need to catchWill be coming the other wayYesterday's men hang to todayTo sing in any old wayIt must get better in the long runHas to get better in the long runBecause when you're told to startHow far can you goWhen your race is wonAnd you already knowBecause when you're told to stopHow far will you goWhen your race is runAnd you already knowYesterday's men hang to today,To sing in any old way,It must get better in the long runHas to get better in the long runWill it get better in the long runWill we be here in the long runYesterday's men hang to today,To sing in any old way,It must get better in the long runHas to get better in the long runWill it get better in the long runWill we be here in the long runDo, do, do, hang on in the long run.
