Fascinating piece of media, they really thought it will stay the stame forever. Upon hearing it i got a soy moment and shed some tears. They're singing about a world that's gone but was still there not that long ago, although is indeed completely dead and burried by now. I remember the 90's in eastern Europe as a kid and although many things had already changed by that time it was still a very different world compared to know. Imo what can be defined as post-modernity is something that happened gradually, going way back, but the last decades (especially the ones pre-70's, this song is from 69) of the 20th century had a semblance of continuity with all of the past. But post-modernity really started to kick in at the beginning of the 21st century and took over completely as we speak.
Cowboys playing, young men slaying
Old men praying, the world will change
Schoolgirls dating, daughters mating
Mothers waiting to rearrange
Trendy worker, factory shirker
Social nurture won't let you down
Chairman bluster, boardroom fluster
Feather duster, your vintage crown
Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor
Rich or poor man's wife
Some may wish to change their dish
But it's a way of life
Tinker, tailor
(La la la la)soldier, sailor
(La la la la)Rich or poor man's wife
(La la la la)Some may wish to change their dish
(La la la la)But it's a way of life
So be thankful for what you're given
And be good to your wife in bed
And look after the art of living
And don't forget you're a long time dead
When you're born it's a great big welcome
When you go it's a sad goodbye
Oh, with the bit in between your future
It's up to you if you laugh or cry
Cowboys playing, young men slaying
Old men praying, the world will change
Schoolgirls dating, daughters mating
Mothers waiting to rearrange
It's just a way of life
