All those years ago 1981 <br /> <br />I'm shouting all about love <br />While they treated you like a dog <br />When you were the one who had made it so clear <br />All those years ago <br /> <br />I'm talking all about how to give <br />They don't act with much honesty <br />But you point the way to the truth when you say <br />All you need is love <br /> <br />Living with good and bad <br />I always looked up to you <br />Now we're left cold and sad <br />By someone the devil's best friend <br />Someone who offended all <br /> <br />We're living in a bad dream <br />They've forgotten all about mankind <br />And you were the one they backed up to the wall <br />All those years ago <br />You were the one who imagined it all <br />All those years ago <br /> <br />(Instrumental) <br /> <br />All those years ago <br /> <br />All those years ago <br /> <br />Deep in the darkest night <br />I send out a prayer to you <br />Now in the world of light <br />Where the spirit free of lies <br />And all else that we despised <br /> <br />They've forgotten all about God <br />He's the only reason we exist <br />Yet you were the one that they said was so weird <br />All those years ago <br /> <br />You said it all though not many had ears <br />All those years ago <br />You had control of our smiles and our tears <br />All those years ago <br /> <br />(Instrumental) <br /> <br />All those years ago <br /> <br />All those years ago
