The Good Old Days

from Fake News by lee christian

lyrics

cast your mind back
to when sex was safe
now sex is so dangerous
you'd think there'd be less rape
cast your mind back to when u'd leave open your door
now you've got to keep a tight hold on your handbag
at the grocery store

well if only your god could see you now
tell me with a straight face he'd be proud
well don't worry, you're not going to hell
you've been stuck there for years but u just couldn't tell!

do u remember the good old days?
well they didn't seem that great at the time
but i guess that tells u everything u need to know
about what was waiting for us down the line
i'm not one for nostalgia or a rosey tint
and i never thought the past would be a big thing to miss
i don't even want to call them the good old days
it just seemed much better than this

is this how we show we're so much better then the animals?
with rampant materialism and sophisticated war
if this is all that's up ahead
more so called progress
well it's safe to say i liked it way much more before

cast your mind back to when jesus was huge
now people worship green gods
and they've got their big green eyes on u
now cast your mind back to when money actually bought u some fun
now by the end of payday it's all gone, gone, gone

and now the season can't even be relied on
summer's always late and don't hang around that long
proper-gander for culture - diversion.
so u can turn off your brain and just nod your head along
come on, it's fun!

well if only your god could see you now
tell me with a straight face he'd be proud
well don't worry, you're not going to hell
you've been stuck there for years but u just couldn't tell!

do u remember the good old days?
well they didn't seem that great at the time
but i guess that tells u everything u need to know
about what was waiting for us down the line
i'm not one for nostalgia or a rosey tint
and i never thought the past would be a big thing to miss
i don't even want to call them the good old days
it just seemed much better than this

is this how we show we're so much better then the animals?
with rampant materialism and sophisticated war
if this is your idea of progress
well i liked it more before

cast your mind back to when family values were high
not a bunch of 'moralistic' bullshit
that's piled way up high to the sky
now cast your mind back to the last time your saw someone smile
because i've been scratching my head while now,
for a long, long, long, long, long, long while...
