Where Have All the Good Times Gone? Lyrics
Whoo-wee!
Uh!
Ooo-ooo
Uh!
All my life I never stop to worry 'bout a thing
Open up and shout it out, never try to sing
Wonderin' if I've done it wrong
Will this depression last for long?
Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Once we had an easy ride an' always felt the same
Time was on our side, we had everything to gain
Let it be like yesterday
Is that me or Happy Days?
Ma and Pa look back on all the things they used to do
They never had no money and they always told the truth
Daddy didn't need no little toys
Mommy didn't need no little boys
Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Ow!
(Guitar Solo)
Yesterday was such an easy game for you to play
Aw, but then let's face it, things are easier today
Guess you need some bringing down
Get your feet back on the ground
Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Uh!
Ooo-ooo
Uh!
All my life I never stop to worry 'bout a thing
Open up and shout it out, never try to sing
Will this depression last for long?
Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Time was on our side, we had everything to gain
Is that me or Happy Days?
They never had no money and they always told the truth
Mommy didn't need no little boys
Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Ow!
Aw, but then let's face it, things are easier today
Get your feet back on the ground
Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?

Other then with DLR, VH rocked hard as hell. I think this songs about the earlier generations that thought that times before now were always simpler but even after thinking that today everything is easier for kids."Yesterday was such an easy game for you to play Aw, but then let's face it, things are easier today"
No Matter what it means, VH rocks.
This was written by Ray Davies from The Kinks From Wikipedia... Where Have All The Good Times Gone is a song written by Ray Davies of The Kinks. It was first released on their album The Kink Kontroversy in 1965. Originally released as a B-side, the song has gained "classic" status and was featured in numerous compilations. It has also been covered by David Bowie in the album Pin Ups, and by Van Halen in the album Diver Down.
my fav. song from "Diver Down".
This song is about nostalgia, wishing for a time gone by when they had few worries and lots of fun.
Definately a great song by Van Halen. Wished this song was a hit. Great song.
also, a good cover song.
This song to me is about growing up. As a kid life is simple yet fun. There is nothing to worry about and most people are carefree. At the same time the song references parents who take on a whole new responsibility once they have children. Half of the song is written from the perspective of someone who is young and begins to see that the world is not this wonderfule place. The other half of the song is about older people who miss their independence? I dunno. VH Rocks!!!
I love this song, its better than the original Kinks version.
