on Those Were the Days
The song "Those Were the Days" by Invisible Inc. is a satirical commentary on the rose-tinted view of American history. The lyrics sarcastically praise the "good old days" when music like Glenn Miller's was popular and when "guys like us had it made". The song then takes a sharp turn and begins to mock the romanticized view of history with lines like "Wondrous Chris Columbus set off to sail in the seven seas (land ho!)" and "All men are created equal like negro people we traded / Upgraded from monkeys to a whole three-fifths of a human". The song ultimately concludes that life was not as idyllic as it is often remembered, and that the truth of the past is much darker than some may want to admit.
