1964 Lyrics & Chords By Too Much Joy

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
iIn 1964
And the cops carried swords
In 1964
And I wasn't alive
In 1964

Everyone got fat
And forgot to have kids
People (went hunting?)
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!)
