Ain't Nothin' Like It Used To Be Lyrics - Singles - Steppenwolf

One glass in the mornin', two shots at night 

Three fourths anytime that you wanna get tight 

Drink wine to remember, swill gin to forget 

And blame the world for the peace that you haven't found yet 

He stood at the bar with a bottle in his hand 

And he complained so bitterly 'bout a world he could not understand 

He said "All my life, I've hustled and paid to survive 

Say, can't you see, what's wrong with the world ain't me" 

Ain't nothing' like it used to be 

Ain't nothing' like it once was 

Ain't nothin' like it ought to be 

Ain't nothin' right no more 

One pill in the mornin', two joints at night 

Three spoons any time that you want to feel right 

Toot coke to remember, shoot smack to forget 

And blame the world for the life you haven't lived yet
