Everything was better in the old days

Immorality, extremism and crime.
You can read about it every day.
No one knows how to get rid of these things.
You can do nothin' about it but pray.

Ain't no borders to protect us
from the strangers that are so god damn strange.
Back in the day we had only two sexes
and I'm sure there was no climate change.

In the old days, In the old days
Everything was better ...

Colors were pretty — separated.
Women knew where they belong.
Now everything's mixed up and no one can tell
what is right and what is wrong.

Ain't no borders to protect us
and that is why we are so scared.
Social achievements we've been given
ain't meant to be shared – and I'm sure there was no climate change.

In the old days, In the old days
Everything was better ...

And we will take our country back!
And we will make it great again!

We are the people,
divided we stand, together we fall!
