Are the Good Times Really Over (I Wish a Buck Was Still Silver)

I wish a buck was still silver
 It was back when the coutry was strong
 ♪
 Back before elvis
 And before
 The Vietnam war
 Came along
 Before the beatles yesterday
 When a man could still work,
 And still would
 ♪
 Is the best of the free life, behind us now
 And are the good times really over
 For good
 ♪
 I'll be rolling down hill
 Like a snowball headed for hell
 ♪
 With no kind of chance
 For the flag or the liberty bell
 ♪
 I wish a ford and a chevy
 Would still last 10 years
 Like they should
 ♪
 Is the best of the free life, behind us now
 And are the good times really over
 For good
 ♪
 I wish coke was still cola
 And a joint was a bad place to be
 
 It was back before nixon
 Lied to us all on TV
 ♪
 Before microwave ovens
 When a girl could still cook
 And still would
 ♪
 Is the best of the free life
 Behind us now
 And are the good times really over for good
 ♪
 I'll be rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell
 ♪
 With no kind of chance for the flag
 Or the liberty bell
 ♪
 I wish a ford and a chevy
 Would still last 10 years
 Like they should
 ♪
 Is the best of the free life, behind us now
 And are the good times really over
 For good
 Stop rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell
 
 Stand up for the flag and lets all ring the liberty bell
 ♪
 Let's make a ford and a chevy
 That will still last 10 years
 Like they should
 
 Because the best of the free life is still yet to come
 And the good times aint over for good
