Long ago, in my youth
I stood on the football field
Thought I knew the truth
Used to be so easy
Where did those days go?
Used to be so easy
Somehow we lost control
There were jocks and there were geeks
And there were in-betweens
Trying hard to keep ahead of a dying thing
Used to be so easy
Where did those days go?
Used to be so easy
Somehow we lost our soul
Lost our soul
They took a page from the Hitler rage
They made us all march tall, they made us march tall
Conformity to their insanity
Like the blond brick wall
They say, "Socialization!"
I say, "It's a social sewer!"
They say, "Gotta follow the rules!"
I say, "Now, who's the ruler?"
Used to be so easy
Where did those days go?
Used to be so easy
Somehow we lost our soul
Lost our soul
They took a page from the Hitler rage
They made us all march tall, they made us march tall
Conformity to their insanity
Like the blond brick wall
They say, "Socialization!"
I say, "It's a social sewer!"
They say, "Gotta follow the rules!"
I say, "Now, who's the ruler?"
