Clipped and cute as hell; you've got to see them (yeah).   That was the time, us in our prime, that was the time.      If you believe in peace on earth then you're dumb   Life like a folksong that you can hum   If you believe in peace on earth then you're dumb   Pop all your dreams in your bubblegum   If you believe in peace on earth then you're dumb   I'd lend a hand but it's just too numb   If you believe in peace on earth then you're dumb   It's never that fun, it's never that easy      Sift through sandy shells our last vacation.   That was the time, us in our prime, that was the time.   If you listen well, you'll hear the ocean.   That was the time, us in our prime, that was the time.      I think how we used to joke about your sense of immortality.   I think how we used to make believe I couldn't swim;   I'd throw myself into the sea (the waves crash over me)   Then you'd come and rescue me.      Time betrays this tale as if I'm dreaming.   Words - an empty shell, a lack of meaning.
