[00:00.00] New Times (LP Version) - Violent Femmes
[00:00.57] New Times New Times New Times
[00:11.19] Good morning Good morning Good morning
[00:15.08] I'm the guard At one time
[00:17.48] This was rather pleasant
[00:23.78] The poets they still had to muse
[00:26.31] Over the classicism of clean shoes
[00:29.08] But who today still knows a button stick
[00:33.93] Well that's the new times
[00:36.59] That's the new times
[00:39.48] That's the new times
[00:45.73] The girls would lie down
[00:46.81] The girls would lie down
[00:48.10] The girls would lie down before us
[00:50.82] First one went dancing
[00:52.22] First one went dancing
[00:53.49] First one went dancing then behind the bushes
[01:00.22] Today you have to run through twenty places
[01:02.86] Get drunk on saccharin and methy forn
[01:05.44] And then you still don't get them that far
[01:10.33] Well that's the new times
[01:13.49] That's the new times
[01:15.96] That's the new times
[01:22.12] Now take it easy there in the early morning
[01:29.62] Who arrives but the brethren from the press
[01:35.51] Now take it easy there in the early morning
[01:41.93] Who arrives but the brethren from the press
[01:47.53] If somewhere there lies a cadaver
[01:50.04] Or something is foul in the state
[01:54.68] You can be sure that a writer is not far behind
[02:01.14] With his Excellency I only say:
[02:07.13] Hands off
[02:08.35] Hands off
[02:09.50] Hands off the literature
[03:04.78] The laurel wreath one gets today
[03:07.27] Second hand so to speak
[03:09.92] From the old Empire's stories
[03:12.40] Sold underhand at the Alexanderplatz
[03:16.61] With all the wigs and costumes
[03:19.44] Twitching from the shoulder one is informed
[03:26.32] Well that's the new times
[03:29.25] That's the new times
[03:32.05] That's the new times
[03:37.65] That's the new times
[03:40.03] That's the new times
[03:42.74] That's the new times
[03:48.86] New times New times New times
