well, just the other day heard some people say
     it's not like it used to be for you and for me
     is it really changing fast or are we living in the past?
     or did all of it just slip away like any other day?
from the cradle to the grave, every moment every day, it's a crazy mixed up world
from the moment of your birth when you're placed upon the earth, crazy mixed up world
     seems funny but it's really true they'll shoot you now and steal your shoes
     common place and that's the blues, but it's big city life for me and you
     did it really change that fast or are we living in the past?
     or did it all just slip away like any other day?
from the cradle to the grave, every moment every day, a crazy mixed up world
from the moment of your birth when you're placed upon the earth, crazy mixed up world
     well just the other day heard some people say
     it's not like it used be for you and for me
     did it really change that fast are we living in the past?
     or did all of it slip away like any other day?
from the cradle to the grave, every moment every day, it's a crazy mixed up world
from the moment of your birth when you're placed upon the earth, crazy mixed up world
from the cradle to the grave, every moment every day, a crazy mixed up world
