Expiration Lyrics
"Back in my day" is subject to decay, lies done and dated as the dead. But in the interest of their political agendas, they're prepared to return to the days that never were. Turning back the clocks, now halting progress. Pointing to social ails that flourished all the while, now cite a basic moral breakdown. Insisting that regression is the most beneficial way, but misery in '2001 in 1930 was the same. They want it back. Put an expiration date on the American dream.

Expiration: It's a popular, albeit erroneous, attitude amongst Americans of class and privelege that we've have lost touch with the "good old days." Conservative freaks like Attorney General John Ashcroft would even like to re-visit (and no doubt repeal) Civil Rights laws Americans gained decades ago, while simultaneously gutting the rights of women, minorities, the poor and aging. Think of how bad it is when hardcore bands try to rehash the salad days of youth crew and multiply it by a 100. Yea, that's bad.
