Verse:
I’m a rusted relic from the Age of Aquarius
It was a time for making love, not war
A time for beating swords into plowshares
A time that time forgot
A time that never was
Verse:
A war was raging in Southeast Asia
Young men dying for the powers that be
While black and white, men and women were marching
For love and peace
And equality
Bridge:
Step by step and inch by inch
Human rights are gained
We let a little sun shine in
Still some clouds remained
The skies grew dark again
Now it’s pouring rain
(Instrumental interlude)
Verse:
How did we get here from the Age of Aquarius?
What twisted path has led us so astray?
How did compassion for our fellow man
Turn to fear and hate?
It’s the New American Way
Verse:
Where politicians favor guns over children
Then offer parents hollow thoughts and prayers
Old men impose their old man rules on a woman
As if they even care
For the child she must bear
Bridge 2:
Step by step and inch by inch
Rights are taken away
Thunder clouds are rolling in
Will they keep pouring rain
Till America is “great again”?
Will we ever let the sun shine in?
Verse:
I’m a ragged remnant from the Age of Aquarius
A time for burning draft cards and bras*
A time for beating drums ‘round the fire
A time that time forgot
A time that never was
Just brilliant Mike. ❤
