A                       E A
Hey, old man. Remember 1964?
                                        E             A
With your hair long and curly trying to end the damn war?
                                             E          A
With your peace signs and marches, it shook you to the core
                                    E          A
But here we are again and I don't see you no more


[Chorus]
           D                 A
And the times, they are not changin'
           E                  A
It's the same as it was once before
          D                              A          F#m
You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle
        D                E        A
And now you just don't care anymore


[Verse 2]
          A                  E          A
Then the 70's came and you got a real job
                                         E         A
You bought a house in the suburbs on a half-acre lot
                                           E            A
They started busin' in children, and you quit smokin' pot
                                      E               A
The oil prices went higher, and the whole world is shot


[Chorus]
           D                    A
And the times, they are not changin'
            E                   A
It's the same as it was once before
            D                            A            F#m
You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle
         D               E         A
And now you just don't care anymore


[Verse 3]
           A                   E          A
Then the 80's swept in with a new set of rules
                                          E            A
You sent your kids off to private, all-lilly-white schools
                                                E          A
Kept all your hand-me-down money, and your millionaire's jewels
                                               E              A
Give 'em food stamps and welfare, "Don't complain, you poor fools"


[Chorus]
          D                    A
And the times, they are not changin'
          E                     A
It's the same as it was once before
          D                             A             F#m
You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle
         D               E        A
And now you just don't care anymore


[Verse 4]
          A                      E         A
From the 90's 'til now, not a whole lot has changed
                                                E            A
The rich folks keep the winnings and make the rules to the games
                                      E         A
And expect us somehow, to just feel lucky to play
                                  E           A
But we see it all get harder and harder each day


[Chorus]
          D                  A
And the times, they are not changin'
          E                    A
It's the same as it was once before
            D                           A            F#m
You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle
          D             E        A
And now you just don't care anymore


[Verse 5]
              A                                    E             A
And if this song hurts your feelings, that don't mean it ain't true
               A                         E            A
Nah, it just means that we're probably singin' 'bout you


[Chorus]
           D                    A
And the times, they are not changin'
          E                     A
It's the same as it was once before
           D                             A           F#m
You got yourself a little, turned your back on the middle
         D              E         A
And now you just don't care anymore


[Outro]
          D                                 A          F#m
Soon as you got a little, you turned your back on the middle
         D              E        A
And now you just don't care anymore
