lyrics

Man, it was a simpler time when I was a boy
Kids got cut from the bball team and no parents got annoyed
We drank our milk and help with chores and men acted like men
And every goddamn kid in school was a proud American
Yes every goddamn kid in school was a proud American

Yea, it was a simpler time when I was in 8th grade
Some kids got cut two years in a year; still that bball team, they never made
Then those kids would try a different sport, something like wrestling
Cause the wrestling team took anyone, guaranteed no cutting
Yea the wresting team said verbatim they took ANYONE, guaranteed no cutting

Then somehow one kid still wouldn't make the team, and that was fine
He knew the next fall, that would be his time to shine
So day one of soccer practice he's got cleats on, ready to play
But he forgets his medical slip so the coach doesn't let him play
Yea this stupid kid forgets his medical slip and then the coach doesn't let him play

MAN IT WAS A SIMPLER TIME
KIDS GOT CUT FROM TEAMS LEFT AND RIGHT
And some of those kids probably could have been good at basketball if the coach had been able to see potential, but that's ok, they turned out alright
They're dwelling on how they didn't get a chance to play on a school sports team
SOME KIDS ARE LATE BLOOMERS
They never think about how all those cuts fucked up their self-esteem
They're not dwelling on how all those cuts fucked up their self-esteem
