If you're a senior citizen, or gaining on it, you definitely know the opening song from All in the Family. That show was over 50 years ago and people look back and think, "Simpler times!"
Especially with today's climate. People hate the President, the economy, social agendas of certain people or groups, and so on. They rag on alternative energy sources, electric vehicles, and pronouns, and music of the day. If we could only get back to Archie Bunker times!
But, Those Were the Days was a song bitching about how fucked up this country had become. Crying about the President, the economy, social agendas of certain people or groups, and so on. The more that things change........
Boy, the way Glen Miller played.
Songs that made the Hit Parade.
Guys like us, we had it made.
Those were the days
Didn't need no welfare state.
Everybody pulled his weight
Gee, our old LaSalle ran great.
Those were the days
And you knew where you were then
Girls were girls and men were men.
Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.
People seemed to be content.
Fifty dollars paid the rent.
Freaks were in a circus tent.
Those were the days
Take a little Sunday spin,
Go to watch the Dodgers win.
Have yourself a dandy day
That cost you under a fin.
Hair was short and skirts were long.
Kate Smith really sold a song.
I don't know just what went wrong
Those Were the Days
Seems we worry about the same shit generation to generation. 🙃
