To me this is about people who have given up on modern life and see instead a call for the "good old days" or the times when things were simpler, easier, the music was better or love was more pleasant. I think the song is an answer to someone like that, telling them that if they've lost their faith in love and music, if they are calling for these "good old days" then the end won't be long, they'll be doomed to see everything as worse than before. I think it's an important song and a good one. The idea that there "weren't no good old days" is also important. To remember that in times where some things might have been better there were other problems, and that we have no more problems now than we had in the past. It's a call for people to live in the moment and quit looking into the past in reminiscence, and instead make today what you can. Because the past, "the good old days" aren't as good as you dream they were.
