The Kinks - Now and Then lyrics
[The Kinks - Now and Then lyrics]
In the beginning of it all there was the land
And the sea and she sky
Then into the middle of it all there came man
To live on the land and then a great nation
Put into operation an evolutionary plan
Now mighty corporations and politicians
Rule the land
Wish I could remember when
We were more innocent
Than all of those violent bitter men
The world was much younger then
But we were much wiser then
Before we were full of discontent
It's too bad the simple ways
Came sadly to an end
I guess that's the difference
Between now and then
In the beginning of it all there was the land
We were much younger then
But we were much wiser then
We never questioned why or when
One day we'll be born again
Our lovers and friends will remain
To live in a world without suffering and pain
And I can see a day when enemies are friends
And there'll be no distance
Between now and then
In the beginning of it all there was the Land
And the sea and she sky
Then into the middle of it all there came man
To live on the land and then a great nation
Put into operation an evolutionary plan
Now mighty corporations and politicians
Rule the land
Wish I could remember when
We were more innocent
Than all of those violent bitter men
The world was much younger then
But we were much wiser then
Before we were full of discontent
It's too bad the simple ways
Came sadly to an end
I guess that's the difference
Between now and then
In the beginning of it all there was the land
We were much younger then
But we were much wiser then
We never questioned why or when
One day we'll be born again
Our lovers and friends will remain
To live in a world without suffering and pain
And I can see a day when enemies are friends
And there'll be no distance
Between now and then
In the beginning of it all there was the Land
