When We Were Golden

Wait my people what's the matter with us now?

Got no money, no looks, no know how

Used to pay for nothing, got everything free

When we were golden, when we were golden

Now just you wait 'til we can't do nothing right

And we get too tired and we don't even play outside

Used to wake the day with a smile on

When we were golden, when we were golden

Those were better days, those were better days

As so you don't forget yourself, oh no, oh no

Those were better days

Wait my people now we're thinking much too small

And now we're working at, instead of burning down, city hall

Just try and forget so you can feel better about what you got

'Cause what you got is what you got anyhow

Oh my people we should just do better right?

Don't get to see the day, can't even stay up at night

We used to think so big

Then we forgot about when we were golden

When we were golden

Those were better days, those were better days

As so you don't forget yourself, oh no, oh no

Those were better days

Those were better days, those were better days

As so you don't forget yourself, oh no, oh no

Those were better days

Wait my people what's the matter with us now?

Got no money, no looks, no know how

Used to pay for nothing, got everything free

When we were golden, when we were golden
