German medieval metal with minstrels, musketeers and anachronisms.
Translation:
Back then, everything was better,
Books were still made out of paper
All the nights were longer
And there was still alcohol in beer
Back then, everyone found work
Back then we still had real money
The banks weren't bankrupt
The world was ours.
Give Yesterday a rest already
Drink to a better time
Raise the glasses, let's celebrate
Starting today, "back then" is dead
Nothing was really better in those days,
Whoever believes that is an idiot
Back then, everything was better
back then all women were beautiful
The men were real men
And a porno was still obscene
Back then, all the days were longer
And summer was always hot
All the skirts were shorter
And ice never melted in drinks
Back then everything was better
A rock concert was still loud
Songs were still purchased
And music wasn't stolen.
Back then everyone was nicer
The boss even gave compliments sometimes
The pope was still catholic
And there was dope in heaven.
The moral of this song
Any child can see
It's a good thing, that everyone
Everyone from yesterday
Is out of date today
It's a good thing, that everyone
Everyone from yesterday
Is out of date today
