No Talking

So tell me, Mama, 'cause you know it's true
Weren't you talking about a revolution?
Just postponed by the phone and forgot about it
And tell me, Dad, do you remember this pearl?
"This generation's gonna change the world"
Took a doze, I suppose, and forgot about it

Time is not on our side so
No talking about the past

The single saddest song you ever did sing
Burned like kindling 'til tomorrow weighed in
On the lines that "the times are a-changin'"

Ain't love just the strangest thing?
We waste it on diamond rings
Too late now to turn back time
So come on and do the lame duck jive tonight
