Everything Was Better
Yesteryear, the water was cleaner
And the bees stayed chipper and the crowds weren't here
They say the grass was greener and the sky was bluer
And the children grew larger and the cattle got fatter
Everything was better than it is right now
Everything was better than I think it ever was
Like I said, last year, the water was bluer
And the people weren't sadder and our heads looked forward
They say the world was rounder
And the bodies were smaller and the food was fuller
And I felt alive
Everything was better than it is right now
I said everything was better than I think it ever was
Everything was better than it is right now
I said everything was better than I think it ever was
Can we take what was and keep it for tomorrow?
Can we take our present and live around the edge?
Can we take one look at our ugly future past?
I'm not even trying anymore, no, mmm
Everything was better than it is right now
(Everything was better than it is right now)
Everything was better than I think it ever was
Ever was
And the bees stayed chipper and the crowds weren't here
They say the grass was greener and the sky was bluer
And the children grew larger and the cattle got fatter
Everything was better than it is right now
Everything was better than I think it ever was
Like I said, last year, the water was bluer
And the people weren't sadder and our heads looked forward
They say the world was rounder
And the bodies were smaller and the food was fuller
And I felt alive
Everything was better than it is right now
I said everything was better than I think it ever was
Everything was better than it is right now
I said everything was better than I think it ever was
Can we take what was and keep it for tomorrow?
Can we take our present and live around the edge?
Can we take one look at our ugly future past?
I'm not even trying anymore, no, mmm
Everything was better than it is right now
(Everything was better than it is right now)
Everything was better than I think it ever was
Ever was
