Borrowed Time

Interesting take on the 80's. It was a time of Russian vs the U.S....of Iran entering the picture, and of the beginning of distrust of our elected "leaders." (I use the term loosely.) The song is about how it seemed easier in the 60's without a care in the world (although the Vietnam War was in progress so I can't imagine that being the case, especially since most people watched the war come into their living rooms each night after dinner via TV.) We were a powerhouse of a country at that time and perhaps that made him feel both confident and complacent. All the man wants to do is "live high" and feel good. He doesn't like the feel of the 80's...
