It's about how the way things were were better than the way things are. I still roll my windows down by cranking them and hang laundry on the clothesline. Unfortunately, there will always be some inventor who doesn't like the way we had it. Thomas Edison didn't like seeing people in the dark, so he invented the light bulb so people could see their way in the dark. He's probably rolling in his grave because of this song.
