Sister cries out from her baby bed
Brother runs in feathers on his head
Momma's in her room learnin' how to sew
Daddy's drinkin' beer listenin' to the radio
Hank Williams sings "Kaw-Liga" and "Dear John"
And time marches on,
time marches on
Sister's wearin' rouge and clear complexion soap
Brother's wearin' beads and he smokes a lot of dope
Momma is depressed, barely makes a sound
Daddy's got a girlfriend in another town
Bob Dylan sings "Like a Rollin' 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 "sexy grandma"
Brother's on a diet for high cholesterol
Momma's out of touch with reality
Daddy's in the ground beneath the maple tree
As the angels sing an old Hank Williams song
And time marches on,
time marches on
And time marches on,
time marches on
And time marches on,
time marches on
