That was Then, This is Now

Turn up the radio and ...
It's the same ol' situation, 
The same songs, same band
That raised my generation 

That was then, this is now
Nothing's changed but my age,
And four numbers, somehow
On a calendar's page ...

It happened again today 
In the store where I shopped,
In the restaurant, I heard it play
Proving the 80's never stopped 

That was then, this is now
O, to revive a faded fad,
If we never forget how
Good times can still be had

Life, like a cassette tape 
With two sides, was designed, 
From Side A, Side B can't escape 
If you just press rewind ...
