Back to when:

I wish time
Would turn around
And we can go back
To when happiness was found.

Back to when just having a tv
Made you the coolest kid ever.
Back to when there wasn't a news channel
To tell you about the weather.

Back to when you didn't
Have to prove much.
Back to when
Nobody was badly touched.

Back before scandal,
Back before war.
Back before people learned
How to get more.

Back to when people didn't swear.
A bad thought remained silent.
And when someone said, "I love you"
Everyone knew it was meant.

Back to when the humor came
From The Three Stooges shows.
When a kids weekend entertainment
Contained a good friend and fishing poles.

Back to when every meal
Was made right at home.
When your only grooming devices
Were a brush and a comb.

Now our only reminders
Of the good ole days
Is TV Land black-and-white shows,
Boy, we've changed in so many ways.

Now, we have the news
Which always brings us down.
They never say the good things
That happen in a small town.

No, they show us the bad stuff.
War, fires, murder, rape.
They only tell you top stories
Only to bring up their rate.

They won't tell you
Something boring and common.
No matter how important it is,
That story is rotten.

The news brought us down.
Now no one is happy.
Politically correct terms
Made everything crappy.

Tell us how it is.
Don't lie to us anymore!
We all know you're scum,
Right down to the core!!
