A E A
Hey, old man. Remember 1964?
E A
With your hair long and curly trying to end the damn war?
E A
With your peace signs and marches, it shook you to the core
E A
But here we are again and I don't see you no more
[Chorus]
D A
And the times, they are not changin'
E A
It's the same as it was once before
D A F#m
You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle
D E A
And now you just don't care anymore
[Verse 2]
A E A
Then the 70's came and you got a real job
E A
You bought a house in the suburbs on a half-acre lot
E A
They started busin' in children, and you quit smokin' pot
E A
The oil prices went higher, and the whole world is shot
[Chorus]
D A
And the times, they are not changin'
E A
It's the same as it was once before
D A F#m
You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle
D E A
And now you just don't care anymore
[Verse 3]
A E A
Then the 80's swept in with a new set of rules
E A
You sent your kids off to private, all-lilly-white schools
E A
Kept all your hand-me-down money, and your millionaire's jewels
E A
Give 'em food stamps and welfare, "Don't complain, you poor fools"
[Chorus]
D A
And the times, they are not changin'
E A
It's the same as it was once before
D A F#m
You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle
D E A
And now you just don't care anymore
[Verse 4]
A E A
From the 90's 'til now, not a whole lot has changed
E A
The rich folks keep the winnings and make the rules to the games
E A
And expect us somehow, to just feel lucky to play
E A
But we see it all get harder and harder each day
[Chorus]
D A
And the times, they are not changin'
E A
It's the same as it was once before
D A F#m
You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle
D E A
And now you just don't care anymore
[Verse 5]
A E A
And if this song hurts your feelings, that don't mean it ain't true
A E A
Nah, it just means that we're probably singin' 'bout you
[Chorus]
D A
And the times, they are not changin'
E A
It's the same as it was once before
D A F#m
You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle
D E A
And now you just don't care anymore
[Outro]
D A F#m
Soon as you got a little, you turned your back on the middle
D E A
And now you just don't care anymore
