Yesterday's Men Lyrics
An insolent speck of youth
Being taken for a walk
So tightly by the ear
That he can hardly talk
Yesterday's men hang on 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 (marathon)
Has been held today
But who you need to catch
Will be coming the other way
Yesterday's men hang on 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 run 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 on to today (hang on)
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?
Hang on
Yesterday's men hang on to today (hang on)
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?
Hang on in the long run
Being taken for a walk
So tightly by the ear
That he can hardly talk
To sing in the old fashioned way
It must get better in the long run
Has to get better in the long run
Has been held today
But who you need to catch
Will be coming the other way
To sing in any old way
It must get better in the long run
Has to get better in the long run
When your race is run 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
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?
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?

this song is all about how hard it is growing old as a man seeing the world change in front of you and trying not to be left behind by the times.
thinking that your run at life is coming to an end and time is running out to do thos things that you want to do.
finally questioning wether life will get better in the end, if it will be easier.
even as a young man this song scares me, it tells me that life is short and my race is running even if im letting it run without me.
