Remember the time when it wasn't a crime,
To spend your money til the very last dime,
Remember the crooks that we'd all mistook,
Were simply bad guys but now just look,

They wear fancy suits and they drive fancy cars,
With big leather boots and fat Cuban cigars...

Remember the world when we still loved her girl,
With the sky so blue and a cloudy white swirl,
Remember the people who fought for what's right,
And all through the night, they never gave up the fight,

Against crooked lawyers and corrupted cops,
All scared of the bomb in case it drops,
The world kept on spinning though for us it should stop,
Coz we deserve it, deserve to die and...

Regret everyday as we're moving away,
Though every bone in my body's begging us to stay,
And though mom and dad who weren't half bad,
At raising me up, but still I was sad,

I waited til 18, and this is what I mean,
When you can move out wearing just your jeans,
And you'd go off to school and try to look cool,
While trying to break every establishment rule,

And start rally protest, against Nixon-Ford,
Coz Nam' ain't worth the lives of friends we adored,
And who are we to allow them to play God,
We don't deserve that, coz we sure don't wanna die and...

20 years later and at our alma mater,
The school reunion and everyone's a complainer,
'My job is a bitch, and my wife spends too much,'
Since when were we such, losers out of touch,

We fought conformity, and yet we conformed,
We want our kids to be, just like the social norm,
And we all frown on the kids today,
Coz we forgot we were them yesterday...

Remember the day when we used to say,
'Let's party til late and sleep the day away,'
They called us wild but we just had to smile,
As we painted the town red in amazin' style,

Remember the person who you once were,
And forget the person that you now are,
Forget all your problems and return right here,
But please throw away your Cuban' cigar...
