There's something going down In this simple place I grew up in Boots are on the ground Singing, "Happy days are here again" There's something in the air The deaf can hear, the blind can see Nostalgia everywhere Saying, "Let's get back to how it used to be" Before we head down that road Tell me something I don't know Oh, what's so good about the good old days? Yeah, what's so good about the good old days? It's taken oh so long For the world to start to understand The true and equal worth Of every woman and every man We've got so very far to go So tell me something I don't know Oh, what's so good about the good old days? Yeah, what's so good about the good old days? There's something going down In this simple place I grew up in It's burning to the ground And it will never be the same again The past is ash and dust Our best days are in front of us Oh, what's so good about the good old days? Yeah, what's so good about the good old days? Tell me, what's so good about the good old days? Yeah, what's so good about the good old days?
