1964 Lyrics by Too Much Joy

Son of Sam I Am

1990

People wore dumb hats
And they fell in love
Cities were good things
Someone was president

Nobody drank
But they danced just the same
It was over so fast
No one gave it a name

The world was black and white in 1964
And the cops carried swords in 1964
And I wasn't alive in 1964

Everyone got fat
And forgot to have kids
We bought Manhattan
No one fed the fish

The widows taught sewing
They raised the price of stamps
The Civil War began
They invented summer camps

Everyone was friends in 1964
Everyone was poor in 1964
And I wasn't alive in 1964

1964

The world was black and white
And life was just a song
And the cops carried swords
And everyone knew the words

And I wasn't alive
(WHEN WAS THAT!?)
And I wasn't alive
(WHAT TIME IS IT!?)
And I wasn't alive
(SIXTY FIVE!?)
And I wasn't alive
(SAY AGAIN!)
