wait my people what's the matter with us now?
got no money, no looks, no know how.
used to pay for nothing, got everything free.
when we were golden, when we were golden.
just you wait til we can't do nothing right,
and we get too tired and we don't even play outside.
used to wake the day with a smile on.
when we were golden, when we were golden.
those were better days, those were better days.
as so you don't forget yourself, oh no, oh no.
those were better days.
wait my people now we're thinking much too small,
and now we're working at instead of burning down city hall.
just try to forget so you can feel better about what you got,
cause what you got is what you got anyhow.
oh my people we should just do better right?
don't get to see the day, can't even stay up at night.
we used to think so big, then we forgot about
when we were golden, when we were golden.
those were better days, those were better days.
as so you don't forget yourself, oh no, oh no
those were better days, those were better days.
as so you don't forget yourself, oh no, oh no
those were better days
wait my people what's the matter with us now?
got no money, no looks, no know how.
used to pay for nothing, got everything free.
when we were golden, when we were golden.
