Why Can't Things Be Like They Used To

I miss those years,
of fun and games.
I miss those years,
of playing in the rain.

I miss those times of,
no responsability.
I miss those times of,
not living in reality.

Before the MySpace frenzy . . .
Before the Internet & text messaging . . .
Before Sidekicks & iPods . . .
Before PlayStation3 or X-BOX 360 . . .
Before Spongebob . . .
Before Tupac was shot.
When light up sneakers were cool.
When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

When gas was $0.95 a gallon.
When we recorded stuff on VCRs.
You had slap bracelets!
You Actually played outside until it was dark!

Those times are long gone now...
Most likely these next few years will be spent sitting inside on a computer or something else...
Texting and talking on the phone.

What happened to talking in person?
What happened when different was cool?

I guess same is the new different.
What's so fun about that?
Nothing.
