Yesterdays Men Lyrics - Utter Madness - Madness

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
