The Groovebirds - Another Time Lyrics

It was another time in Small Town, USA
He was the working kind, she was the sister of his date
Our devoted heathen in a bind
When his Catholic girl was in the family way

And it wasn't like a shot-gun wedding
It was just the thing you did
No one in the house was betting
On the future of the kid
It was another time and 
It was a better time, some might say

It was another time across the German state
When people stood in line to hear the doctrine of the faith
A dissheveled nation in a bind
Blames another one determined to be saved

And it wasn't like a shot-gun wedding
It was just the thing you did
No one in the house was betting
On the future of the kids 
It was another time and
It was a better time?
Some might say 

Don't know why I'm feeling sentimental
Never did before
Always sure that life was accidental
But is there something more?

Is that the way that it goes?
Am I about to see the light?
Is that the way that it goes?
Or am I just wound up too tight?

Everywhere I look I see depression 
But never this way before
Deep in debt in the name of our possessions 
Is this worth fighting for?

Is that the way that it goes?
Am I about to see the light?
Is that the way that it goes?
Or am I just burned out tonight?
