Remember then the Good Old Days
When Slaves were kept in Chains
A simple life “It had More Strife”
Far more Aches and Pains
Education forced upon us now
Our Childhood has been stolen
Don’t complain to older folk
For their years now are Golden
They can’t see what they did to us
Their challenge our demise
It’s just the way they look at us
Through worn and weary eyes

not sure I agree with some of these lines~~

and it depends on which generation you are referring to...

Some made our lives better and others are always making excuses...changing things that didn't need to change...then discovering they were better before. Besides I don't see that many people living a "Golden" life here.
