Now, seems like a nation,
Headed in the wrong direction,
Everyone for self-protection,
No neighborly dedication.
Whatever happened to those good ole' times,
People would laugh and children play,
With solid hearts and nursery rhymes.
Whatever happened to those good ole' times,
Feels like just the other day.
When the good times came our way.
Now, feels like a situation,
Without a solution,
Love's complete dilution,
Ending in human extinction.
Whatever happened to those good ole' times,
The band would begin to play,
With solid beats and peaceful rhymes.
Whatever happened to those good ole' times,
Seems like just the other day.
When the good times came our way.
(and, the band played on....)
