Ain't Nothing Like It Used to Be - Steppenwolf, John Kay

One glass in the mornin'

Two shots at night and

Three fourths anytime

You wanna get tight

Drink wine to remember

Swill gin to forget

And blame the world for the peace

You haven’t found yet

He stood at the bar with a bottle in his hand and he

Complained so bitterly 'bout a world he could not understand

He said, «All my life, I’ve hustled and paid to survive

Can’t you see, what’s wrong with the world ain’t me?»

Ain’t nothing like it used to be

Ain’t nothing like it once was

Ain’t nothing like it ought to be

Ain’t nothing right no more

One pill in the mornin'

Two joints at night

Three spoons any time

You want to feel right

Toot coke to remember

Shoot smack to forget

And blame the world for the peace

You haven’t found yet

She said in the car with her head held in her hand

Complained so bitterly 'bout a world, she could not understand"

She said, «All my life, I’ve hustled and paid to survive

Can’t you see, what’s wrong with the world ain’t me?»

Ain’t nothing like it used to be

Ain’t nothing like it once was

Ain’t nothing like it ought to be

Ain’t nothing right no more

Get up in the mornin', give love at night

Take time for yourself when you’re losing the fight

Take care to remember, it takes time to forget

Thank God for the time, you haven’t had yet

Ain’t nothing like it used to be

Ain’t nothing like it once was

Ain’t nothing like it ought to be

You, nothing wrong no more

Ain’t nothing like it used to be

Ain’t nothing like it once was

Ain’t nothing like it ought to be

You, nothing wrong no more, yeah
