My brothers got a laptop, my sister a cell phone.
My mom and dad use Bluetooth they’re online when they’re not home.
Plasma screens, HDTV and TIVO, it’s a shame. What happened to the good ole’ days?
My cousin has an iPod just like everybody else.
Doesn’t leave his bedroom, plays PS3 all by himself.
GPS, Blackberry, Mapquest, Google, it’s a shame.
What happened to the good ole’ days?

Grandma walked to school each day in cardboard shoes, ten miles each way. The movies cost a nickel, or so I hear.
Had to take long walks to the store, no internet to help with chores.
Things were very different, that is clear

I’ve got a digital camera, mega pixels up the wazoo.
If you don’t have an iPhone yet I bet you’ll own one soon.
Ebay, YouTube, Mp3’s and blogging, it’s a shame.
What happened to the good ole’ days?

A song dedicated to my amazing grandparents. To think that when they were born, television was not yet a reality. Sometimes you have to step back and think, “WOAH”! City Kids today have the world at their fingertips, for better and for worse.
