Standard (EADGBE)

We were born to mothers who smoked and drank

 Our Cribs were cribs were covered in lead based paint

 No Childproof lids no seatbelts in cars

 Rode bikes with no helmets and still here we are

 Still here we are

 We got daddy's belt when we misbehaved

 Had three T.V. channels you got up to change

 No video games and no satellite

 All we had were friends and they were outside

 Playing Outside

 It was a different life, When we were boys and girls

 Not just a different time, It was a different world

 School always started the same everyday

 The pledge of allegiance then someone would pray

 Not every kid made the team when they tried

 We got disappointed but that was alright

 We turned out alright

 It was a different life, When we were boys and girls

 Not just a different time, It was a different world

 No bottled water

 We drank from a garden hose

 And every Sunday

 All the stores were closed

 It was a different life, When we were boys and girls

 Not just a different time, It was a different world

 It was a different life, When we were boys and girls

 Not just a different time, It was a different world

 It was a different world
