Time Marches On

Sister cries out from her baby bed. Brother runs in, feathers on his head. Mama's in her room learnin' how to sew. Daddy's drinkin' beer listenin' to the radio. Hank Williams sings "Clyja and Dear John." And time marches on. Time marches on. Sister's usin' rouge and clear complexion soap. Brother's wearin' beads and he smokes a lot of Dope. Mama is depressed, barely makes a sound. Daddy's got a girlfriend in another town. Bob Dylan sings "Like a Rolling Stone." And time marches on. Time marches on. The South moves North. The North moves South. A star is born. A star burns out. The only thing that stays the same is everything Changes. Everything changes. Sister calls herself a sexy grandma. Brother's on a diet for high cholesterol. Mama's out of touch with reality. Daddy's in the ground beneath the maple tree. As the angels sing an old Hank Williams song. Time marches on. Time marches on. Time marches on. Time marches on. Time marches on. Time marches on
