Back When We Were Cool

Look at that ostrich, head in the sand
That politician, standing there with him
He’s a mighty man
Look at that farmer, ploughin’ up dust
Poor old farmer, it keeps getting’ warmer
Who can he trust
They say that’s just how it goes
I don’t believe that it has to be so

‘Cause back when we were cool
I remember
Back when we were cool
Still had a real September
I saw a better world for you and me
But that was back when we were cool

Look at that eagle, up in the sky
Hole in the ozone, burnin’ up his home
And he don’t know why
Look at our Leaders startin’ to sweat
They say, really, it’s gonna get chilly
But it ain’t happened yet
Look at that mercury climb
Ain’t comin’ down for a long, long time
Cause back when we were cool
I remember
Back when we were cool
Still had a real September
I saw a better world for you and me
But that was back when we were cool
