Simpler Times

from Simpler Times by Healer Of Bastards

lyrics

Focus on now, memories can be rose-tinted   
Just look around, pathways missed by being blinkered  
Protected by your parents, no rent and far less stress   
Less access to world news, before the internet   
Issues the same, an adult comprehends more   
Your younger days, still loads of nations at war   
Hunger and famine killed kids, aid policies refused  
Offences brushed off lightly, abusers were excused  
Did we really live in simpler times? Simpler times  
Or did your parents shield your eyes?   
Care-free and innocent as kids - Innocent  
Rather than there just being more peace   
“It never happened in my day”  
Any history book, foreshadows today 
“Things were so easy way back then”  
Death, war, pain, disease  
Still existed then  
Little has changed, except perhaps your memory  
Nobody’s sane, just look back through our history  
Nostalgia gets us nowhere, moaning is not a cure  
Issues will be recycled, same problems as before
