Nostalgia For An Age That Never Existed Lyrics

Fake 50's clothes

Fake 50's food

Classic gas-guzzling dream cars

In more ads on the tube

Fake home-made cookies

Like Mommy used to make

Nostalgia for an age

That never existed

Do you remember

Art-deco knick-knacks and flings

The stars on the silver screen

Made you forget Hooverville

View the world

Through Time Life and Nick-at-Nite

Nostalgia for an age

That never existed

All the stars had a pretty face

Children and negroes knew their place

Blocks of happy families

With Moms and Dads all in love

Or are these wholesome memories

Really from reruns on TV

Fake sixties

Mask our leaders sleaze

Is it really a new beginning

With Confederate Kennedys?

Fake Camelot

Before everything went wrong

Nostalgia for an age

That never existed

Do you remember

The Summer of Love

Vietnam, mini-skirts and drugs

Rebellion was so much fun

Tell your own kids

To say no to that

Nostalgia for an age

That never existedJello Biafra - Nostalgia For An Age That Never Existed - http://motolyrics.com/jello-biafra/nostalgia-for-an-age-that-never-existed-lyrics.html

Turn that MTV racket off

So your folks can listen to "classic" rock

Mellow out to the same old songs

Again and again and again

Do you wonder or even care

How you wound up such a square

If you can't stand "The Big Chill"

Get out of the freezer

Can't stand The Big Chill

Get out of the freezer

Everything old is new again

It all comes back, just wait your turn

But somehow the magics always missing

Giving up on future dreams

To dwell on rosy memories

Will make sure your best days

Are in the past

Nostalgia for an age that never existed

Nostalgia for an age that never existed

Do you remember

Being the first punk in your town

Outlaw #1

For the t-shirt you had on

Now you stay at home

Mad at the whole scene

For refusing to freeze

In 1983

Why can't all the bands reform

Stick to playing their old songs

It ain't punk

If it ain't just like the old days

That was then, this is now

Suckling up to the sacred cow

Can leave you stuck in the mud

With it's remains

Nostalgia for an age that never existed

Nostalgia for an age that never existed
