The Good Old Bad Old Days 1971

Don't you realise
we're living today
I'm happy to say
in the good old, bad old days
Taking the breaks
and making mistakes
In the good old, bad old ways

Some people say,
they long for the old days
To take them way back when
I'd sooner stay
right here with the gold days
than go through that again
Seems to me, you're either out
or you're in
You lose or you win
In these sad old glad old days
You're poor or you're rich
Who knows which
is which anyways
We're living on time
we're having to borrow
no one knows if we will live
to see tomorrow
Never the less,
I guess we've got to confess
These are the good old bad old days

Day to day you either up
or you're down
A king or a clown
In the good old, bad old days
It's heaven or hell,
hello or farewell
In the good old, bad old days
Looking around
the world that surrounds me
I thank good God above
But I have found
one thing that astounds me
the world's still full of love
and I realise
come rain or come shine
They're yours and they're mine
all these crazy, mad old days
In war or in peace
they still never cease to amaze.
There's no in between
they'll worship or shoot ya.
Still, I have a feeling
in the far off future
people will say
when they look back at today
those were the good old bad old days.
