Old School By joeysguy I remember lessons from the old school It was a code an unwritten rule As a male I would get to my feet To give the elderly or a woman the seat When taking a girl out for a day As the guy I would always pay Music was understood and had meaning A lot of songs today sounds like screaming Entertainers wore costumes or dressed in clothes Today so much body they expose You didn’t always have to lock doors No fences had to protect stores As a young kid I played outside Strangers didn’t bother us, we didn’t have to hide We would hangout till late hours of night When older we hung out even till daylight Women could sit outside late and talk It was safe to take a late night walk Any time was safe to go stroll in the park Try doing that now in the dark People now wear pants down almost to the knees It’s ugly, pick them up please What happened to those good old days Time passes and kids go through a craze
