[00:14.19]Last year's troubles are so old fashioned
[00:17.88]The robber on the highway the pirate on the seas
[00:22.32]Maybe it's the clothing that's so entertaining
[00:26.46]The earrings and swashbuckling blouses that please
[00:38.67]Here we have heroes of times that have passed now
[00:42.39]But nobody these days has that kind of chin
[00:46.86]Over there the petticoats of ladies of virtue
[00:51.09]You can hardly tell them from the petticoats of sin
[01:00.75]Last year's troubles
[01:07.50]Look at all the waifs of dickensian england
[01:11.43]Why is it their suffering is more picturesque
[01:15.72]Must be cause their rags are so very victorian
[01:19.98]The ones here at home just don't give it their best
[01:32.22]Last years troubles they shine up so pretty
[01:35.79]They gleam with a luster they don't have today
[01:40.38]Here it's just dirty and violent and troubling
[01:44.40]Etc
[01:49.95]Last year's troubles
[01:55.77]But trouble is still trouble and evil still evil
[02:05.22]Sometimes we wonder is there more now or less
[02:09.18]If we had a tool or could tally the handfuls
[02:18.81]Measure for measure it's the same would be my guess
