Cosas Del Ayer

Remember those days when everything was alright,
Where hate and evil were just on TV.
When you could buy those old long plays,
When you could listen to those old LPs.

Everything seemed peaceful and calm,
Only the good vibes should matter to us,
By noon, heading back home
Without thinking that someday we’d have to grow up.

Oh, oh, oh, those are things from yesterday.
Oh, oh, oh, those are things from yesterday.

You never thought about what was for dinner,
'Cause the innocence of youth never lets you see
That your dad had to bust his ass for overtime
Just to bring something home for us to eat.

Real miracles your mom had to pull off.
'Cause with just a few cents, she had to keep
The household running and make sure to maintain
That ship afloat that was bound to sink.

Oh, oh, oh, those are things from yesterday.
Oh, oh, oh, those are things from yesterday.

But nothing lasts forever, you had to wake up,
'Cause the passage of time makes us react.
'Cause there’s no manual for life,
And sometimes reality hits hard.

You’ll soon realize our reality,
We’re doomed to the joy of dancing.
You’ll soon realize, it’s our specialty,
We’re doomed to the joy of dancing.

And the only thing left, the only thing left,
The only thing left, the only thing left,
The only thing left, is to live with dignity.
