lyrics

Focus on now, memories can be rose-tinted
Just look around, pathways missed by being blinkered
Protected by your parents, no rent and far less stress
Less access to world news, before the internet
Issues the same, an adult comprehends more
Your younger days, still loads of nations at war
Hunger and famine killed kids, aid policies refused
Offences brushed off lightly, abusers were excused
Did we really live in simpler times? Simpler times
Or did your parents shield your eyes?
Care-free and innocent as kids - Innocent
Rather than there just being more peace
“It never happened in my day”
Any history book, foreshadows today
“Things were so easy way back then”
Death, war, pain, disease
Still existed then
Little has changed, except perhaps your memory
Nobody’s sane, just look back through our history
Nostalgia gets us nowhere, moaning is not a cure
Issues will be recycled, same problems as before
