Cover art for Where Have All the Good Times Gone? lyrics by Van Halen

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!!!
