Nostalgia sucks

The rubber band American Dream has

Snapped back to first position

Too much talk of old fashioned values

Too many heads haunted by idealized nostalgia

Too many generations who were never there

But think we should all visit the past to be happy

The past is only better when you're talking about the T.V. shows.

How far do you want to go?

Let's undo civil rights and women's  suffrage

Bring back polio and the measles

Stoning and lynching and burning

Who needs law and order?

We could abolish the separation of church and state?

I miss witch trials and the inquisition

And let's not forget Roe V. Wade

The past is only better when you're talking about the T.V. shows.

We can forget about the burning

The draft cards and bras

Living in caves, in the dark, waiting for creationist explanations

We can flashback-throwback-all the way back to hell

Dying of cigarette cancer, smallpox, and measles

Waiting for Joe McCarthy to arrest us all

The past is only better when you're talking about the T.V. shows.
