Lyrics:
You want to go back to good ol' times
When saying a joke wasn't a crime
It was much simpler for you
Today everything's taboo
We're sorry for you , times are changing
Ladies and gents, get on with the program, you're the ones dreaming
Time to wake up
We're living in the present
Good riddance to the past
It wasn't so pleasant
Don't look behind
Look ahead to the future
Good riddance to the past
It wasn't better
You want to return to simpler times
When being out and about was a crime
But of course you're not a bigot
you just prefer them inside the closet
You might prefer to feel on top
For others to lick your boot
Time to wake up
We're living in the present
Good riddance to the past
It wasn't so pleasant
Don't look behind
Look ahead to the future
Good riddance to the past
It wasn't better
We need a future without racism
It must be better than before
A future without gender roles
Without sexism
It must be better than the past
Must be better than today
We need a future
It must be better than before
A future without hunger
Without wars
It must be better than the past
Must be better than today
You want things to go your way
For us to have nothing to say
When saying a joke wasn't a crime
It was much simpler for you
Today everything's taboo
We're sorry for you , times are changing
Ladies and gents, get on with the program, you're the ones dreaming
Time to wake up
We're living in the present
Good riddance to the past
It wasn't so pleasant
Don't look behind
Look ahead to the future
Good riddance to the past
It wasn't better
You want to return to simpler times
When being out and about was a crime
But of course you're not a bigot
you just prefer them inside the closet
You might prefer to feel on top
For others to lick your boot
Time to wake up
We're living in the present
Good riddance to the past
It wasn't so pleasant
Don't look behind
Look ahead to the future
Good riddance to the past
It wasn't better
We need a future without racism
It must be better than before
A future without gender roles
Without sexism
It must be better than the past
Must be better than today
We need a future
It must be better than before
A future without hunger
Without wars
It must be better than the past
Must be better than today
You want things to go your way
For us to have nothing to say
