I read somewhere, some time ago "the past's a foreign land" But I was young and innocent, Just didn't understand. And now that I'm approaching The autumn of my years Those cryptic words come back to me, This time they're crystal clear.
It's all about how peoples' views and attitudes have changed. How things that were acceptable must now be rearranged. But political correctness can be a bloody fool We can't say "Baa baa black sheep" Or wear a cross to school.
Don't get me wrong, I know that many things are good today Technology and science GPS and DNA But sometimes I just wish for that less complicated time When common sense ruled the roost Is that so much a crime?
