I wrote a letter to the president.
I told him when my mother was younger,
Things were different.
Things were different.
I wrote a letter to an astronaut.
I told him when my mother was younger,
He was soaring to the moon.
Things were different back then.
Now they're different too.
I wrote a long list of sanctity.
I could have sworn that love was something
No matter who was loving who.
Things were different back then.
They're gonna be different soon.
Throw your old ways to the wind,
And watch them spin.
I wrote a letter to an empty shell.
I asked it for the room
To put all these broken records to rest.
Things were different back then,
So sing a different tune.
Clean your attic
And your basement.
Put your old thoughts
On the table.
All the world is
A garage sale,
And it's time now to let these things go.
I wrote a letter to the president.
I told him when my grandchildren grow,
Things will be different.
They'll be different.
Things were different back then
And now they're different too
Things were different then
And now they're different too
