about

A motown influenced soul track about the Division, and the healing, and how we should go back to how it was, back in the day. This version features an alternate drum track also played by Joe Mackie.

lyrics

This song is when black and white
Was like a yin and yang
We were in balance
Each half a part of a whole

But now, it's like some kinda rorshach test
People tell us we can't live on the same street
Or the same block
Can't go to the same clubs or the same school
Or even sit down and talk


We are born knowing how to love,
We get taught how to hate
Wish things weren't that way,
I wish I could make it change

It wasn't always like this,
Despite what they all say
I wish i could make it like it was
Like it was back in the day

Back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day



So far we came to get it together,
So easy it was to rip it apart,
Between all the bad apples and closing of doors in the heart

The news and the hysteria took
The love we had for each other and turned it bad
Eggin on the hate
Playin down the love

I wish I could make it like it was


We used it all the wrong way, all this new stuff
We all know this ain't the way it was supposed to work out
We feed our children to the romans on big tvs
While mothers are cryin, fathers are dyin and the
Power is about to get shut off

Back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day


We could turn it all around
If we could just reach out
We could make it like it was
Like it was back in the day
