I went back my home town

To the school and walked around

And the way it felt

It seemed just like yesterday



From the cradle to the grave

Some say we never change

No matter how we try

We try to rearrange



Life father so like son

It's as if wife we're both as one

Just as if our fate was pre-ordained



In some countries far from here

You know the one s we used to fear

Are they waiting to return to

Those old evil ways



You can take a correspondance course

Be single married or divorced

You can psychoanlyze your brain

But you know some things will never change



And what will those people do

When Russia starts anew

They'll just stand in line

All under a different name



You can listen to those brainwash tapes

Take a Jewish, Catholic, Buddhist faith

But I'm sure it's gonna be in vain

'Cos you know some things will never change



If their theories all come true

Then there's nothin' we can do

Where the future lies

Well it's not to hard to tell



But after all is said and done

And if the world it lives as one

You can bid those old taboo's

A fond fare well



Yes a fond fare well

A very long fare well
