A place far in the future
|
And faces from the past
|
And children reading history books
|
Their faces light and laugh
|
It all seems so primitive
|
How did you survive?
|
It all seemed so different then
|
How did you stay alive?
|
|
Did you walk cool in the fifties daddy?
|
Was it black and white?
|
Did you play jazz all night?
|
Was it really so wonderful?
|
Did you walk cool in the fifties daddy?
|
Did you dress like James Dean?
|
Did you wear dungarees?
|
Did you dance to the Rhumba?
|
|
Was it all just crazy fashion?
|
I said oh yeah
|
Did you live life with a passion?
|
I said oh yeah
|
|
Does it all have some strange meaning?
|
Can it change my life today?
|
Or is it all so much flotsam and jetsam?
|
Tell me right away
|
|
Did you walk cool in the sixties daddy?
|
Did you fight in the war?
|
Or did you chase all the whores
|
On the rock and roll rumble?
|
Did you walk cool in the sixties daddy?
|
Did you fight in the war?
|
Did you break all the laws
|
That were ready to crumble?
|
|
Was it just a crazy fashion?
|
I said oh yeah
|
Did you live life with a passion?
|
I said oh yeah
|
|
Does it have some inner meaning?
|
Can it change my life today?
|
Or is it all so much flotsam and jetsam?
|
Tell me right away
|
|

|

|

|
Did you know Dr. King?
|
Was he ever so humble?
|
Did you walk cool primitive cool?
|
Did you break all the laws
|
That were ready to crumble?
|
|
A place far in the future
|
And faces from the past
|
And children reading history books
|
Their faces light and laugh
|
It all seems so primitive
|
How did you survive?
|
It all seemed so different then
|
How did you stay alive?
