When you were great When you were young Morals and ideals Were easy to come by In your small town There was no crime The heroes were heroes The villains did the time They did it better In simpler times Less progressed minds Boundaries and lines Stayed in their lane No thoughts came to wander Equality existed As far as you were concerned But maybe Your bubble wrapped ideas Diluted memories Aren't what they seem Cause the world is much bigger Your perception is relative To your own American dream When you were great Times tend to change Still things stay the same But how you interpret Changes with age The world gets much bigger The older you grow Your point of view differs But you won't break the mold The ideas you were sold In your youth you still hold As precious as gold They're stagnant and old But still you defend Your personal beliefs As if your experience Is the only history And when life it gets harder And truths come to light You take it as a sign Of the end of yours times But the truth is your seeing for the very first Time The world as it's always been, even when When you were great.
