[2009]
Album "Times Ain't What They Used To Be"
T'was back in the early days
Lots of people died of hunger and thirst
Then they invented money,
Devided them into rich and poor
And the people died some more.

Populations grew
People needed more land
So they took it from each other,
They went off to war
And the people died some more.

Old Europe was crowded
Some were tired of living there
So they took off with their ships
And conquered foreign shores
And there the people died some more.

They finally thought
That kings aren't the right thing.
People wanted more rights
That's what they made a revolution for
And the people died some more.

They invented new weapons
Big bombs and guns
And also the wars got bigger
Two of them they even called 'world war'
And the people died some more.

They fought the fascists
Then they fought the communists
Now it's the terrorists they fight
'Till everyone lies dead on the floor
And the people just die some more.

People died for many-a causes
Usually for the rich and mighty men.
I think we will die
Until they've got nothing left to let us die for
Maybe then the people won't die anymore.

Maybe the people won't die anymore.
