Here We Are In The Years

Album: Neil Young (1969)

  • Now that the holidays have come
    They can relax and watch the sun
    Rise above all of the beautiful things
    They've done

    Go to the country take the dog
    Look at the sky without the smog
    See the world laugh at the farmers feeding hogs
    Eat hot dogs

    What a pity
    That the people from the city
    Can't relate to the slower things
    That the country brings

    Time itself is bought and sold
    The spreading fear of growing old
    Contains a thousand foolish games
    That we play

    While people planning trips to stars
    Allow another boulevard to claim
    A quiet country lane
    It's insane

    So the subtle face is a loser
    This time around
    Here we are in the years
    Where the showman shifts the gears
    Lives become careers
    Children cry in fear
    Let us out of here Writer/s: Neil Young
