Before the rise of the console
Before the 24-7 feeds
When you could pack in a club or a record store with ease.
Back in the day of the mix tape
In a “kindler, gentler” time—
Before we plugged in, we connected hearts and minds.
Not knowing everything all the time
Was the way to keep us young and alive
Those Days were some of the best days.
Those Days make me smile.
Those Days were some of the best days.
Those Days make me smile.
Back in the day of the Blue Dress
And the Bittersweet Symphony.
I remember how it was before the mp3.
Now it’s the dawn of the new dead
In the bubble of the digital wave.
It’s a struggle every day to have something left to say.
Now everyone is so bored.
You’re already a hundred years old by the time you’re born.
Those Days were some of the best days.
Those Days make me smile.
Those Days were some of the best days.
Those Days make me smile.
I think we might be going
Backwards and insane.
Someone wants to plant a burning cross
Into my brain.
Those Days were some of the best days.
Those Days make me smile.
Those Days were some of the best days.
Those Days make me smile.
