Sister cries out from her baby bed
Brother runs in, feathers on his head
Mama's in her room learnin' how to sew
Daddy's drinkin' beer, listenin' to the radioHank Williams sings "Kaw Liga" and "Dear John"
And time marches on, time marches onSisters usin' rouge and clear complexion soap
Brothers wearin' beads and he smokes a lot of dope
Mama is depressed, barely makes a sound
Daddy's got a girlfriend in another townBob Dylan sings "Like A Rolling Stone"
And time marches on, time marches onThe 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 changesSister calls herself a sexy grandma
Brothers on a diet for high cholesterol
Mamma's out of touch with reality
Daddy's in the ground beneath a maple treeAs the angels sing an old Hank Williams song
Time marches on, time marches on
Time marches on, time marches on
Time marches on, time marches on
