Good Luck All Good People lyrics

Do you think we had it back then?
We've been relieved by the youth we used to be in our day.
They crept up, said, “enough is enough” and sent us away.
Now I'm writing this alone.
There are places I should be but let it go.
I've kept myself just so, so don't be sour when I don't show.
Can anybody attest to a perfect description like the ones we used to know?
We were younger then.
I'd like to think I'm realistic, still I'm never satisfied.
Too afraid of what might come along, too uptight to make it mine.

Now I'm trapped in the 1990s.
Send a car to bring me home.
I don't care much where you take me so long as you stay with me.
Cling to an image of the past, were you a happy child?
We know that all good people need to slug it out to give them a name they can say is prized.
And if we ever had it back then, don't know that we have it anymore.
But we've still got a job to do, so what are we waiting for?
