Olden Ways of the Olden Days

Here it is again, not the same person you are within
but someone influenced by the chaos and cockiness of Los Angeles

Here you go again, not the same person we shared a moment,
but it passed and now you're back to your old ways
some things never change

seasons change but really they stay the same
fashion changes but comes back around again
why not recycle we're taught in so many ways
it's impossible to let go of the old days
recycle means hold onto don't let it go to waste

people are starving in Ethiopia, remember those days 1983
famine came their way
and so we're told not to waste our plate
but so many things got wasted anyway,
and then some things they never change.

Olden ways of the olden days
her heathen ways of her feathered hair mess and lipgloss glaze
far below the stare of her drunken gaze
of all the things I had to say
I never got to say
Stop wasting your time with the ones who will go nowhere.
And drag you down with them.
I wonder when I got so vain.
