Standard (EADGBE)
We were born to mothers who smoked and drank
Our Cribs were cribs were covered in lead based paint
No Childproof lids no seatbelts in cars
Rode bikes with no helmets and still here we are
Still here we are
We got daddy's belt when we misbehaved
Had three T.V. channels you got up to change
No video games and no satellite
All we had were friends and they were outside
Playing Outside
It was a different life, When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time, It was a different world
School always started the same everyday
The pledge of allegiance then someone would pray
Not every kid made the team when they tried
We got disappointed but that was alright
We turned out alright
It was a different life, When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time, It was a different world
No bottled water
We drank from a garden hose
And every Sunday
All the stores were closed
It was a different life, When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time, It was a different world
It was a different life, When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time, It was a different world
It was a different world
