That Golden Time

歌詞

Remember, dear, that golden time Before you thought you had to choose Between the shrinking violet truth And a growing list of IOUS Before the keeper of the gate Revoked your ticket to the land Where eloquence was still in date And everything was cash-in-hand. Before the dulling of the mind Encased in algorithm blues Hollowed out the heavy stuff Replaced it with a careful ruse And whispered in the gravy train Careening on the falling sand But now we turn the hourglass For advocacy is not a brand Who am I to say? Who am I to say? Who am I to say? That golden time That golden time That golden time That golden time Remember, dear, that golden time Before you thought you had to choose Between the shrinking violet truth And a growing list of IOUS Before the keeper of the gate Revoked your ticket to the land Where eloquence was still in date And everything was cash-in-hand Before the dulling of the mind Encased in algorithm blues Hollowed out the heavy stuff Replaced it with a careful ruse And whispered in the gravy train Careening on the falling sand But now we turn the hourglass For advocacy is not a brand Who am I to say? Who am I to say? Who am I to say? That golden time That golden time That golden time That golden time
