What has happened to society
What has happened to society?
Oh how I miss the olden days
When people helped everyone else
Now no-one does anything for nothing
People are just out for themselves
I remember the close-knit communities
Doing favours for one another
When people had respect
For their father and their mother
It breaks my heart to think about
How much times have changed
Family-life a thing of the past
And kin-folk are estranged
What has happened to family values
And care in the community?
People shunning responsibility
At every opportunity
Children going home from school
No home-cooked food on the table
Mum and dad both out at work
A stable home life is now a fable
Oh how I miss the olden days
When people helped everyone else
Now no-one does anything for nothing
People are just out for themselves
I remember the close-knit communities
Doing favours for one another
When people had respect
For their father and their mother
It breaks my heart to think about
How much times have changed
Family-life a thing of the past
And kin-folk are estranged
What has happened to family values
And care in the community?
People shunning responsibility
At every opportunity
Children going home from school
No home-cooked food on the table
Mum and dad both out at work
A stable home life is now a fable
