Life used to be so simple then..
Back when I didn’t know of sin…
Back when life was just a languid dream
and I never herd my parents scream..
back when the old forgotten toys were all the rage
and I didn’t know what it was like to be locked in a cage.
Back when I didn’t know about the word rent
or the bills that had to be sent..
back when it was all just games
and you knew all their names..
Back when freeze tag was all afternoon long
and you didn’t know about the beeps in this song.
Back when dreams we scary
and your face wasn’t hairy.
back when you didn’t know about the color of skin
back when everyone was apart of your kin..
Back when you knew how to get away with it all
back when you didn’t have the brainpower to stall..
Back when it wasn’t always nine to five
back when you didn’t know what it was like to be alive..
