The Good Times Are Gone

Lyrics:

What has become of this land that I fought for
This country I served with pride
It is sad, but the good times are gone
And all of the good men have died

Ev'ry man for himself, that's the motto
What has this great nation become
All the violence and lack of respect for us
By almost everyone

See it dying, see it fading, see it drifting away
When it's over and forgotten, they'll just throw it away

It is sad, but the good times are gone
And all of the good men have died
Young people today are a positive shower[?]
Can't imagine how it all went wrong
And who will inherit the mantle of power
When all the great leaders are gone

This song can be found on the following releases:

stereo mix, by Trihas & The Tapes, recorded 1996
