Bring me back, back in sixty-four!

One, two, three, four! Hey! Hey! Hey! Daddy had a radio, a bicycle and dreams Mamma cooked on Sundays, life was simpler than it seems Now we stare at tiny screens all night and all day long We got a thousand “friends” online but no one sings along Back then they danced in living rooms Now everybody’s locked in Zooms You had a kiss beneath the moon Now dating comes with terms and tunes! Oh no! Where did the good times go? Everybody moves too fast and nobody says hello! Bring me back, back in sixty-four! When love was loud and people closed the door No passwords, no selfies, no artificial charm Just a little rock ’n’ roll and someone on your arm! Back! Back in sixty-four! Before we all became a human grocery store Swipe left, swipe right, everybody wants more But nobody’s dancing like they did before! Grandpa bought a house with one small paycheck every week Now a coffee costs your salary and landlords never speak People used to write real letters sprayed with cheap perfume Now it’s “seen at 8:43” and silence fills the room Back then you fixed your broken shoes Now everything’s designed to lose We had guitars and motorcars Now billionaires are flying Mars! Oh yeah! Isn’t it absurd? Everybody’s shouting loud but nobody’s been heard! Bring me back, back in sixty-four! When songs had soul and jukeboxes would roar No filters, no hashtags, no robots in the band Just a tambourine and sweat and everybody hand in hand! Back! Back in sixty-four! Before your toaster needed updates from the store Click here, agree there, read the terms once more But nobody’s laughing like they did before! Hey! Put the phone away tonight! Hey! Come and sing beneath the lights! Hey! Maybe we were never rich But we knew how to live without a glitch! Bring me back, back in sixty-four! When every Friday felt like something worth waiting for No streaming algorithms telling us what’s cool Just a three-minute melody and breaking every rule! Back! Back in sixty-four! Yeah the world keeps spinning faster than before Modern life’s a circus running out the door So meet me in the middle of the dance floor! Hey! Hey! Hey! Back in sixty-four… Yeah yeah yeah!
