Where Have The Times Gone? Patrick Collins
Buzz cuts and mop tops,
Hooded sweats and tank tops,
Where have the times gone?
Singing songs from down the street,
Little burst of a birthday greet.
Where have the times gone?
Simple problems, simple fashion,
And a bit of angry youth passion.
Where have the times gone?
Sundays spent eating Birthday cakes,
One year later, contact breaks.
Where have the times gone?
Twelve months of confusion and times of second rate,
Then all signs of peace turn to signs of hate.
Where have the times gone?
Bike rides, eating our fill,
Then all turns to gossip and the rumor mill.
Where have the time gone?
When did the times of laughter turn to that of tears?
When did conversation, turn to rumor and smear?
Where did this happen? When did light turn off, when it was once so on?
Where, oh where, have those times gone?
