Many years we spent unpressured That we knew so swell Love in times of simple pleasures Only time would tell Oh, this is not to say We are not the way we used to be Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah We were not so fond of reason Everyone could tell Even times we'd start to stumble But never ever fell Oh, this is not to say We were not the worst we've ever been Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Fools and kings decide Ways to live your life This is just the way we want to be
