Some social commentary on the bigotry that's part of our history here in the U.S.

lyrics

My father drove the public bus
The town was full of folks like us
Everyone knew their place

When the family ate together at dinner time
I swear it was a capital crime
If the mother forgot to say grace.

In the good old days
In the good old days
When America was proud white and brave
Yeah, those were the days.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh everyone was smiling
But only the hairdressers were gay
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, they all go to church on Sunday
It was the American way.
Back in the day
The good old days

We were taught to salute the flag every day
Recite the pledge of allegiance and pray
It was the American way
Back in the day
In the good old days.
Those were the good old days
We never heard about trans or gay
In the good old days.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh everyone was smiling
But only the hairdressers were gay
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, they all go to church on Sunday
It was the American way.
Back in the day
The good old days
