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 And always known to give a deal Now all my friends are getting locked up How do you think that makes me feel?
