Tell me how it used to
How it used to
How it used to be
[Adam Vida]
One time, a psychic had told me something 'bout my future life
How I would live to be a hundred with my future wife
Surrounded by my great grandchildren
Reading the funnies and telling ‘em stories
'Bout how things were different in my 20’s, like:
"Gather round, you two, shut off the TV
I got a story, and maybe you youngins might not believe me
But 80 years ago, the world wasn’t so kind, then
Now it sounds silly but I remember a time when
There was so many of us in love with one another
And tried to show it but couldn’t 'cuz they wouldn’t let a pair of people
Share a life together 'cuz they said it was evil and against the law
But them laws wasn’t fair or equal
People debated and shouted and demonstrated and spouted hatred
Instead of trying to have a conversation about it
But soon it led us to having celebrations about it
Look at what my generation sprouted" (Marriage is legal!)
Then the psychic took her small fee
I thought about the way things were before me
And how every generation gets a little more free
I felt hope thinking how things could all be
In eighty years I guess we gon' see when our grandkids saying to us
How it used to
How it used to be
