"TIME WAS"
(T. Lear)
Remember when we were kids
All the shit we'd get in
Remember how we used to play
Remember how we used to say,
[BRIDGE 1]
"When I grow up, I wanna be
All the things that I can see.
When I get big, I wanna do
Whatever I put my mind to."
[BRIDGE 2]
Remember all our innocence?
Remember, it made so much sense
Now I look at life, and try to see
What the fuck happened to me?
[CHORUS]
Time was
When we were boys and played with toys
Time was
When we watched cartoons on TV
Time was
When we rode bikes and skinned our knees
Time was
When we were innocent and free
What happened to our childhood?
What happened to our innocence?
What happened to the life we led?
Back then, it all made so much sense
But now we're grown, and we all know
The troubles that were kept from us
The world's become a fucked-up place
They taught us not to raise a fuss
[BRIDGE 2]
[CHORUS]
Time was
When life held some glint of wonder
Time was
When we were scared of thunder
Time was
When we could be what we could be
Time was
When we were childlike and free
Time was
Yeah, time was
Back to Great One
