Lyrics
God bless the good old days, thought they seldom stay,
Blink my eyes and the earth had given way,
To the ship-wrecked actors with the poison minds
Packed in the streets, like dead birds in a mine.
Shamrock Sam, was a sweet-talkin man,
he wowed the white-washed women with his velvet tan
How he got to you baby, that’s a mystery,
but its time you opened your eyes, cuz it kills me you can’t see.
What happened to the you I knew?
What happened to you?
God bless the time we had, though gone like a fad,
I’m an eight hundred pound gorilla, and I’m fightin mad.
Like a refugee from some forgotten era,
you’ve woke a sleeping giant, unleashed unholy terror.
Uptown Annie had a taste for men’s souls,
Like a spider in a web, waiting to suck you cold.
How she got to you baby, that’s a mystery,
But its time you opened your eyes- cuz it kills me you can’t see.
What happened to the you I knew?
What happened to you?
God bless the blessed saints who speak the truth,
Innocent beyond their youth.
The manic A.D.D. balladeers,
spouting pleasant nonsense in our ears
but for every heart that shines bright,
theres a desperate man who lurks somewhere in the night.
How she got to you baby, that’s a mystery,
But its time you opened your eyes- cuz it kills me you can’t see.
What happened to the you I knew?
What happened to you?
