Those Were the Days |
| Yes indeed remember like it was yesterday |
| Wondrous Chris Columbus set off to sail in the seven seas (land ho!) |
| Made it to the mainland and declared it as the West Indies |
| Then generously blessed the natives there with fresh identities |
| India, shmindia, Indians and the settlersWe grabbed us some friends from Gambia, |
| best friends forever |
| These heavenly days of free blankets (those were the days) |
| Banquets and slumber parties 'til the seventeen seventies |
| Manifesting these destinies crafted the revolution |
| We beat the crap out the British then drafted the constitution |
| All men are created equal like negro people we traded |
| Upgraded from monkeys to a whole three-fifths of a human |
| Yuge |
| What an honor we were doing farmers and their cotton picking buddies croonin' |
| (la la la la la) |
| Happy tunes |
| We lived civilly |
| Until we warred civilly kissed and then fixed the union good as new |
| Back before we freed the slaves |
| And they plowed these amber waves |
| Guys like me we had it made |
| Those were the days |
| Those were the days |
| Meanwhile in the kitchen women were wilin' out (wilin' out) |
| Choppin all sorts of salads, and shallots and sour krout (sour krout) |
| Those days were beauties shooting out babies like Uzis and never had wrist |
| cramps from filling ballots out |
| Without a doubt |
| Women love to clean and scrub the grease off all the dishes |
| Didn’t have to trip about politics cuz the men made those decisions |
| Yeah World War I was a lot more fun for the boys sent on those missions |
| Save your country and your liver |
| Come back home to Prohibition |
| Pro was lit |
| Folks were pissed when the 20s came and went but |
| It gets better, let’s make our depressions great again, the |
| Dirty 30s kids laughed with the sticky smudges |
| The polio kids all giggin' and gettin' jiggy on crutches |
| Who knew |
| In World War II those same kids grew up for deployment |
| While we watched atomic bombs drop on TV for pure enjoyment |
| Had separate but equal rights, we even had our own toilets |
| For colored people and whites 'til Civil Rights came and spoiled it |
| When we had parades |
| For Thanksgiving, not for gays |
| Guys like us we had it made (had it made) |
| Those were the days |
| Yeah |
| Remember the time the love of your life meant husband and wife as marriage? |
| And wasn’t it rad how everyone had a mom and a dad as parents? |
| And being a lady meant keeping a baby and using a soft ass voice and shit |
| Girl we only wanted control of your body so you wouldn’t make the wrong choice |
| with it |
| Hey |
| Boys will be boys |
| Now a man is a mom |
| Now they say that a dude is a dame (huh?) |
| There was a day when a dad was a Dom (what?) |
| Remember when you could be swinging your dingaling giggling dropping the bomb? |
| Napalm on some militant commie gorillas and chilling in Naam |
| Like going to study abroad |
| Free vacay, just watch for the Dengue fever |
| Soldiers made peace with PTSD with the good old grade a- chiever |
| Or they stay with the Jay like Beyonce |
| But the best drugs come from the CIA |
| So they brought crack into Lipton inspiring a whole population of people |
| Now pot’s about to be legal |
| But doctors say that you’re evil |
| For smoking a pack of your Camels |
| Or filling your tank up with diesel |
| These are the ways |
| That a decent American pays |
| This is a phase |
| But those were the days |
| Those were the days |
| It sucks now… |
