Good Ole Days

Back when we could just burn the witch
Fire light didn't have no switch
Left to believe every lie you 'were told
Til' your dying day mining god damn coal
Tell me how you love em' good ole days

You turn 18 better grab your gun
If you like the same sex better hide or run
A pretty face didn't have a voice
A woman well, she didn't get no choice
Tell me how you love em' good ole days

Segregation on the buses
In the diners and country clubs
Prejudice and preconditions
Kids today don't give a fuck
Tell me how you love em' good ole days

Man Schedule One, ain't that a joke
Could get Twenty years for a little toke
Lead paint, lead pipes inside our homes
There's better ways to get stoned
Tell me how you love em' good ole days

If you had to make a call
You'd need to find a booth
It cost 25 cents to state your views
Had to wait all day to catch the nightly news
Back in grandad's day they even outlawed booze
Tell me how you love em' good ole days

Family farms were in foreclosure
Stood in line for gasoline
It's selective recollection
Pick 'n Choose what to believe
Tell me how you love em' good ole days

Segregation on the buses
In the diners and country clubs
Prejudice and preconditions
Kids today don't give a fuck
Tell me how you love em' good ole days
Just tell me how you love em' good ole days
Yeah tell me how you love em' good ole days
