[Verse 1]
A
An insolent speck of youth
G
Being taken for a walk
D
So tightly by the ear
D
That he can hardly talk
[Chorus]
A
Yesterday's men hang to today
G
To sing in the old-fashioned way
D
It must get better in the long run
D
Has to get better in the long run
[Verse 2]
A
A metropolitan marathon
G
Has been held today
D
But who you need to catch
D
Will be coming the other way
[Chorus]
A
Yesterday's men hang to today
G
To sing in any old way
D
It must get better in the long run
D
Has to get better in the long run
[Bridge]
Bm
Because when you're told to start
A
How far can you go
G
When your race is won
A F#
And you already know
Bm
Because when you're told to stop
A
How far will you go
G
When your race is run
A F#
And you already know
[Chorus]
A
Yesterday's men hang to today,
G
To sing in any old way,
D
It must get better in the long run
D
Has to get better in the long run
D
Will it get better in the long run
D
Will we be here in the long run
