[short guitar intro] [verse] This is not the world I remember All the ideals we kept dismembered Everything is changing People's morals rearranging What can we do to make it right I don't know but I will fight That's right [chorus] Let's bring back the old days (the old days) Bring back those simpler ways (simpler ways) Make showing respect a trending topic Let's make manners the new meme we copy Maybe there's time to save ourselves Because what I see is a darkened realm Bring back the old days Yeah Bring back the old days [verse 2] I'm not saying we were perfect back then But at least we loved our kin We protected each other we knew it was just We courted our ladies and church was a must Is it too late to relive those days I'm not in touch with these new fangled ways No way [chorus] Let's bring back the old days (the old days) Bring back those simpler ways (simpler ways) Make showing respect a trending topic Let's make manners the new meme we copy Maybe there's time to save ourselves Because what I see is a darkened realm Bring back the old days Yeah Bring back the old days [long guitar solo] [bridge] We didn't have the knowledge The technology But we knew a bad guy When it was plain to see We didn't follow men with rotten hearts We each did our part To make this world a better place And those who trashed it had to face their fate [chorus] Let's bring back the old days (the old days) Bring back those simpler ways (simpler ways) Make showing respect a trending topic Let's make manners the new meme we copy Maybe there's time to save ourselves Because what I see is a darkened realm Bring back the old days Yeah Bring back the old days [outro] (bring back the old days) (I can't follow the new ways) (I love you all, men, women, straight, gay) (white, black, yellow, and red) (sit at the table and get fed) (we're all God's children in the end) [end]
