Sister cries out from her baby bed Brother runs in, feathers on his head Mama's in her room, learnin' how to sew And daddy's drinkin' beer, listenin' to the radio Hank Williams sings "Kaw-Liga" and "Dear John" And time marches on, and time marches on Sister's usin' rouge and clear complexion soap Brother's wearin' beads and he smokes a lot of dope Mama is depressed, barely makes a sound Daddy's got a girlfriend in another town Bob Dylan sings "Like a Rolling Stone" And time marches on, time marches on The South moves north, the North moves south A star is born, a star burns out The only thing that stays the same is Everything changes, everything changes Sister calls herself a sexy grandma Brother's on a diet for high cholesterol Mama's out of touch with reality And daddy's in the ground beneath the maple tree The angels sing an old Hank Williams song And time marches on, time marches on Time marches on, time marches on
