Men of the Past

from Just One Night by The Taters

/

about

One of the songs from our Monday Week days in the early 1980's, originally written as a piano tune, now redone now for live Taters shows. Craig & Brad duo'ing on this one.

lyrics

Men of the future, men of the past
Finding it first and building to last
Always afraid of somebody's claim to fame

Men of the future, running about
Trying to stop the time running out
While the men of the past are the last of the vast unknown

Honor & glory, the stories of entourage
Listed & labeled, all lost in courtly camouflage

Men of the past, papers in hand
Eager to halt the progress of man
While the men of the future are missing the signs today

Men of tomorrow, forging ahead
Watching themselves at the end of a thread
Never to know that it's all be said before
