Lyrics:
Fake 50's clothes Fake 50's food Classic gas-guzzling dream cars In more ads on the tube Fake home-made cookies Like Mommy used to make Nostalgia for an age That never existed Do you remember Art-deco knick-knacks and flings The stars on the silver screen Made you forget Hooverville View the world Through Time Life and Nick-at-Nite Nostalgia for an age That never existed All the stars had a pretty face Children and negroes knew their place Blocks of happy families With Moms and Dads all in love Or are these wholesome memories Really from reruns on TV Fake sixties Mask our leaders sleaze Is it really a new beginning With Confederate Kennedys? Fake Camelot Before everything went wrong Nostalgia for an age That never existed Do you remember The Summer of Love Vietnam, mini-skirts and drugs Rebellion was so much fun Tell your own kids To say no to that Nostalgia for an age That never existed Turn that MTV racket off So your folks can listen to "classic" rock Mellow out to the same old songs Again and again and again Do you wonder or even care How you wound up such a square If you can't stand "The Big Chill" Get out of the freezer Can't stand The Big Chill Get out of the freezer Everything old is new again It all comes back, just wait your turn But somehow the magics always missing Giving up on future dreams To dwell on rosy memories Will make sure your best days Are in the past Nostalgia for an age that never existed Nostalgia for an age that never existed Do you remember Being the first punk in your town Outlaw #1 For the t-shirt you had on Now you stay at home Mad at the whole scene For refusing to freeze In 1983 Why can't all the bands reform Stick to playing their old songs It ain't punk If it ain't just like the old days That was then, this is now Suckling up to the sacred cow Can leave you stuck in the mud With it's remains Nostalgia for an age that never existed Nostalgia for an age that never existed
