I don't like talkin' about old times

When all it does is makes me sad

It would be different if they'd done wrong

Or if they treated people bad

But they just gave to those who needed

Some fantasy against the real

Now all my friends are getting locked up

Oh Lord how do you think that makes me feel

Why do they have to put my friends in jail

Why don't they let us walk in peace

Why don't they lock up all

Their phony laws instead

And sink it all into the see

I see a change in order brother

I see a changin' oh so fast

We have to keep ourselves together

Or every deal could be your last

The names of brothers gone and left me

As images formed in my mind

I see my families getting broken

It seems that only love is blind

I don't like talkin' about old times

When all it does is makes me sad

It would be different if they'd done wrong

Or if they treated people bad

But they just gave to those who needed

And always known to give a deal

Now all my friends are getting locked up

How do you think that makes me feel
