Do you remember the days before we fell?
Things were good, now it's all gone to hell.
Decent friends good families
Didn't need technology
Radio blasted love and fun
Instead of always sex and guns
Simple times, black and white
Preacher told us wrong from right.
Those were the days
But now its all gone, have we lost our way?
Its time to get back to the good old days.
Good days for me, good days for you
Good days for the red, white and blue.
Sunny smiles and bright blue skies
Only hid the lies.
Decent friend good families
Was it all a fantasy?
Neighborhoods were safe, no fear
As long as there were no blacks or queers
Simple times, black and white
Preacher told us wrong from right.
Were those the days?
But now its all gone, have we lost our way?
Its time to get back to the good old days
Who is better? You or me?
Can't escape our fallen humanity.
Fight together. You and me.
We can change our history.
If we play the game
Things will stay the same
The cycle won't chance
We'll be to blame
Things will always stay the same
Decent friends good families
Didn't need technology
Radio blasted love and fun
Instead of always sex and guns
Simple times, black and white
Preacher told us wrong from right.
Those were the good old days.
