Lyrics
In the days, the golden days
When everybody knew what they wanted
That ain't here today

Through the times of lasting love
When parents talked the things tried and tested
They don't feel the same

Dreams and belief have gone
Time, life itself goes on

Far beyond the shrinking skies
The money talks and leaves us hypnotized
It don't pave the way

Underneath the fading sun
The silent song of a business man
Has left us choking

Dreams and belief have gone
Time, life itself goes on

In the days, the golden days
When everybody knew what they wanted
It ain't here today

Dreams and belief have gone
Time, life itself goes on, ooh
