Man walked on the moon when I was only two,
He hasn't done it since and he's never likely to
He's been dreaming
He was the apple of your eye, your dream come true
Wired to the world and to all it's points of view
You couldn't go wrong, no matter what you tried to do 
He's been leeching
Now I'm falling into drink, falling into life
Falling into love with other mens' wives
He's been scheming

That was then and this is now
Now your dreams are reaching

When I was just a boy I was told to be nice
To keep your fingers clean and to always seek advice
He's being growing

To have respect for authority and the powers that be
To pray by the alter down on your bended knees
He's been hoping

In goodness and praise of God knows what
We were led to believe it was a Communist plot
He's been dealing

That was then and this is now
Can your dreams and eat your vows

Ladidadidadida
Ladidadidadida

That was then and this is now
Can your dreams and eat your vows
That was then and this is now
Can your dreams and eat your vows
Burning all your sacred cows
