Slim Dusty - Are the Good Days Gone Forever Lyrics

Lyrics Are the Good Days Gone Forever - Slim Dusty



We've had two world wars and the fighting is still going on
We're tuned now to think that we live on the
Brink of destruction since man made the bomb
And our leaders talk peace but their speeches aren't doing to well
If they don't call a halt
If they don't find the fault
They're gonna blow 'em selves right into hell
It seems bad news is big news and
The world's full of tension and strain
With violence increased there's small hope
For peace and the nature of man is to blame
Where are the rainbows they promised on some future day?
Are the good old days gone forever?
Will our freedom keep slipping away
Hey.
We're so regimented in our everyday lives and our homes
Then with each piece of new legislation
It seems a bit more of our freedom is gone
And we're led to believe that these things have to be anyway
Are the good old days gone forever?
Will our freedom keep slipping away
Hey
But I'm glad that I've lived in this time and that I was born free
May God bless our future,
Children and may they see something that we didn't see
So keep Waltzing Matilda you're the fair dinkum anthem for me
May the good old days come back and we'll
Sing: we're strong, we're proud and we're free
Yeah keep Waltzing Matilda, you're the fair dinkum anthem for me
May the good old days come back and we'll sing:
We're all strong, yeah we're proud and we're free
