Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A place far in the future
And faces from the past
And children reading history books
Their faces light and laugh
[Verse 2]
It all seems so primitive
How did you survive?
It all seemed so different then
How did you stay alive?
[Verse 3]
Did you walk cool in the '50s, Daddy?
Was it all black and white?
Did you play jazz all night?
Was it really so wonderful?
[Verse 4]
Did you walk cool in the '50s, Daddy?
Did you dress like James Dean?
Did you wear dungarees?
Did you dance to the rhumba?
[Verse 5]
Was it all just crazy fashion?
I said, "Oh, yeah"
Did you live life with a passion?
I said, "Oh, yeah"
[Verse 6]
Does it all have some strange meaning?
Can it change my life today?
Or is it all so much flotsam and jetsam?
Tell me right away
[Verse 7]
Did you walk cool in the '60s, Daddy?
Did you fight in the war?
Or did you chase all the whores on the rock and roll rumble?
[Verse 8]
And did you walk cool in the '60s, Daddy?
Did you fight in the war?
Did you break all the laws that were ready to crumble?
[Verse 9]
Was it all just crazy fashion?
I said, "Oh, yes "
Did you live life with a passion?
I said, "Oh, yeah"
[Verse 10]
Does it have some inner meaning?
Can it change my life today?
Or is it all so much flotsam and jetsam?
Tell me right away
[Verse 11]
Well, I think you've got it figured
Go check it out yourself
'Cause I've had it playing teacher for today
[Verse 12]
Did you walk cool, primitive cool?
Did you know Dr. King?
Was he ever so humble?
[Verse 13]
Did you walk cool, primitive cool?
Did you break all the laws that were ready to crumble?
[Verse 14]
Get the picture
[Verse 15]
A place far in the future
And faces from the past
And children reading history books
Their faces light and laugh
[Verse 16]
It all seems so primitive
How did you survive?
It all seemed so different then
How did you stay alive?
