YESTERDAY'S MEN
(Graham "Suggs" McPherson/Chris Foreman)

An insolent speck of youth being taken for a walk
So tightly by the ear that he can hardly talk

Yesterday's men hang 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 has been held today,
But who you need to catch will be coming the other way.

Yesterday's men hang 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 won 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 to today,
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?

Yesterday's men hang to today,
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?
Do, do, do, hang on in the long run.
