What Happened?


What happened to the days of old? When spirits were high And prices were low. What happened to the days of old? When a neighbor would lend their home Now you can’t even borrow the phone What happened to the days of old? When a car was made of metal, not cheap glass And instead of I’m sorry, it’s now get off my @*! What happened to the days of old? When it was God Bless America and merry Christmas Not some whack Happy Holidays What happened to the days of old? When soldiers came home and were treated with respect Now they’re swept under the bus like insects What happened to the days of old? When the president actually cared Not worrying about people of their own stature’s healthcare I’ll tell you what happened. It’s in the heart of one and all And it’s time to bring it out Before we crash and fall.
