Many years we spent unpressured
That we knew so well
Love in times of simple pleasures
Only time would tell

Oh, this is not to say
We are not the way we used to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/g/guided+by+voices/a+good+flying+bird_20062904.html ]
We were not so fond of reason
Everyone could tell
Even times we'd start to stumble
But never ever fell

Oh, this is not to say
We were not the worst we've ever been
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Fools and kings decide
Ways to live your life
This is just the way we want to be
