Re: I think this song is soo true...

We were born to mothers who smoked and drank
Our 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 TV 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'd drink 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

So much of this is true. I have a picture of me on my moms lap in the back of Dads car the day I came home from the hospital. No seat belts. No car seat.

Not every kid made the team when they tried.
We got disappointed but that was alright



I also think it is ok to lose or not get picked sometimes. Trust me, I was a horrible athlete and I was always picked last and lost a lot. That being said, I am fundamentally opposed to athletic leagues for kids where everyone wins and everyone gets a trophy. To me, it just isnt the way the real world works. Life lessons stink sometimes.

Most things are true but I don't remember anyone praying after the pledge of allegiance.

I've seen these lyrics before - I like them - but I've always felt like he stole them from that Growing Up in the 70's and 80's email that's been going around forever that says this exact thing!
