The world keeps on changing
in so many ways
But I can't help thinking
it's been better
A simpler time than
that seemed long ago,
Not like this world I don't know,
This world I just don't wanna know.
People took time to ac tually care,
Pretty young girls with
their long flowing hair,
We prayed to God and he
took us to church
Now we're all lost and
we've searched
Yeah, now we're all lost
and we've searched
Oh, I wish we were back
in the days again
When wo men were real
and boys became men
And I wish I'd been around back then
I wish I could have lived back then
Sullivan was on on a Sunday night
Mickey'd swing and the
ball would take flight
Minnie's skirt and Mrs. Robinson
Life in love sure was fun
And it felt like it'd only begun
Lucy and Gilligan made everyone laugh
A movie ticket was
a buck and a half
There was meaning in
each and every song
And the British invasion was on
With Paul, George, and Ringo, and John
Oh, I wish we were back
in the days again
When wo men were real
and boys became men
And I wish I'd been around back then
I wish I could've lived back then
I'm gonna to
I think about it,
and I wish there were a way
For me to go back,
and live in those days
I'm in anachronism,
disillusioned by it all
Sometimes I just stare at the wall
Yeah, I just sit and stare at the wall
Oh, I wish we were back
in the days again
When women were real
and boys became men
I wish I'd been around back then
I wish I could've lived back then
I wish I'd been alive back then
I wish I could've lived back then
I wish I could live back
then
