These Are the Days

Ah ah Here's a song About living in the past If it was so good then How come it didn't last? If it helps you I'll put it in a phrase Those were the times But these are the days These are the days These are the days These are the days These are the days These are the days The times you're smiling back on Had that great sitcom It hardly compensated For the terror of the bomb Let me help 'cause you're looking through a haze Those were the times These are the days These are the days Hey hey hey These are the days Can you hear me now? These are the days Look around look around look around These are the days These are the days Hey hey live today These are the days It's time to put the past away These are the days The more you do the more you say These are the days The more I need to get away You're longing for a time There never was Now tell me the truth You're looking for the reason It's because You're fighting for youth But if I have to listen any more To fantasy talk Or any other bug you have I'm leaving Now I'm not saying Everything is really great Hey hey hey After sixteen years Of legalized class hate Why waste time Looking back for things to praise? Those were the times huh But these are the days These are the days Looking back in history These are the days Time to get contemporary These are the days The past is not the place to be --- These Are the Days - The Human League
