Текст песни Now And Then

In the beginning of it all
There was the land and the sea and the sky
Then into the middle of it all
There came man to live on the land

And then a great nation
Put into operation an evolutionary plan
Now mighty corporations
And politicians rule the land

Wish I could remember when
We were more innocent
Than all of those violent bitter men

The world was much younger then
But we were much wiser then
Before we were full of discontentKinks - Now And Then - http://ru.motolyrics.com/kinks/now-and-then-lyrics.html

In the beginning of it all
There was the land

We were much younger then
But we were much wiser then
We never questioned why or when

One day we'll be born again, our lovers and friends will remain
To live in a world without suffering, pain
And I can see a day when enemies are friends
And there'll be no distance between now and then

In the beginning of it all
There was the land
