They say the neighborhood has really gone to hell I'll give that G' N' R EP a spin for you again Ella sang: "Things ain't like they used to be" Some will say this ain't punk rock 'cause we're in different keys The thing is that first love, is hard to let go of, like anything worth fighting for And rosy retrospection is like an eye infection, it blurs We put up statues for the past The take the facts out of context It's a mirage we're led astray By myths of long gone better days They say the city's dead, there's nowhere left to go Remember how we used to never ever take it slow You say I don't look at you like I once did What about the nights we spent together in Madrid The sense of unity in a community, joined to pray for men at war Is now what most sticks out we leave the bad parts out and it clouds We put up statues for the past The take the facts out of context It's a mirage we're led astray By myths of long gone better days Songtexte Was everything better back when everything was worse, is indifference To what we have to blame at all, what we lose means more than what we procure We put up statues for the past The take the facts out of context It's a mirage we're led astray By myths of long gone better days Aus Songtexte Mania
