Lyrics

FOLLOW ME

I miss the way things used to be
It's such a cryin' shame
Everything was better then
Why did it have to change
But you don't have to sit and reminisce your life away
Follow me - I'll take you back
To the glory days

I'll take you back to the days when men were men
And women couldn't vote
And black folks sat in the back of the bus
Lose your job there was nothin' to help you float
If you were rich you were always right
If you were poor you were always wrong
And butchers with knitting needles
Took good care of the unborn

Follow me
I'll take you back
To the glory days
We'll go today
Follow me
I'll take you back
To the glory days

I'll take you back to the days when the earth was flat
And a kings word was the law
And the bible was the only truth
Galileo locked up behind closed doors
No medicine or doctors if you can't afford to pay
If you're poor you must be lazy
Why don't you just go away

Follow me
I'll take you back
To the glory days
We'll go today
Follow me
I'll take you back
To the glory days

And if anybody dares to say
The emperor has no clothes
My goons will rough them up just like
The brown shirts of old

Follow me
I'll take you back
To the glory days
We'll go today
Follow me
I'll take you back
To the glory days
