lyrics

C Em Am C
When I was your age all the world was a stage
F C Dm G
We waited around with our feet on the ground
C Em Am C
Back then times were tough, we all had it rough
F C G C
But we never complained about the fire and rain

C Em Am C
There were no mobile phones, computers or drones
F C Dm G
We made the best with what we had, the earth was still flat
C Em Am C
And our neighbors next door had a pet dinosaur
F C G C
They kept it in a cage when I was your age

C Em Am C
When you get to be as old as me
F C Dm G
I wonder what kind of future you’ll see
C Em Am C
Commuting to Mars with invisible cars
F C Dm G
You won’t need to eat or drink - won’t even need to think
C Em Am C
Robots and machines will take care of your needs
F C G C
Won’t have to do a thing to be a human being

Fmaj7 Cmaj7
But we must forward
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Can’t live in the past
A7 Dm
Remembering the good old days
G G7
They were too good to last

C Em Am C
When I was your age there was so much to do
F C Dm G
We made our own shoes and we grew our own food

C Em Am C
And the neighbors next door had a pet dinosaur
F C G C
They kept in a cage when I was your age
C Em Am C
Yes the neighbors next door kept a pet dinosaur
F C G C
Locked up in a cage when I was your age
