Hey Hey, when I was young, we didnt
Talk about no politics, about no holes in the ozone
Hey Hey, was so simple then, life was
Comics, composition, lights out at ten
Trees were trees, meant to be climbed
No ecological matters occupied our minds
Had other things to do with our time
Hey Hey, when I was young, we had no
Cosmic conversations about the origin of the sun
All we cared was the sun should shine
Upon our adventures in that little yard behind
Had other things to do with our time
It's gotten crazy and as each day unfolds
It's all so complicated for our eight year olds
No multimedia, no cd drive
All we knew was the joy of being alive
Had other things to do with our time
