Life before Facebook
School was a long way, Walk? Of course we did
Teacher said that's what your feet are for kid
Dinner, we always had a choice
Take it or leave it, was Mother’s voice
Drinks we had tea and cocoa at bedtime
Milk at school, Sir said tap water was fine
BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV Channels, just three
Dad said we were as lucky as can be
At the phone box, we had to form a queue
Will you be long? Said the neighbours we knew
Computers and Facebook, for better or worse
Teenagers say it's great, to others it’s a curse
No cars, no takeaways, no cans of pop,
Lots of TV channels ...We had not!
Net, Facebook, emails, mobiles, Oh I can't take it all in
I have to admit, I feel rather dim
Was I happy with what I had? Yes I was, Life wasn't that bad
