[Verse 1]
Times one would trust a policeman
Days place your faith in people
Walk street at night with confidence
No one harm you, yes, no really
[Verse 2]
Days all children played outside
No one was safety concerned
No fear of lurking paedophile
One time normal, unthinkable
[Chorus]
Fleeting Norman – given slipping through your fingers
Your rug pulled from convictions of your yesterdays
[Verse 3]
Times one would look to BBC
For objective news reporting
No hidden skewed own agenda
Though sounds far fetched, I remember
[Verse 4]
Times one could trust in science
Theory was just a theory
An explanation possible
Darwinism, but one example
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 5]
Days one could trust government (when was that?)
Times one believed laws legal
Were something more than politics
Serving power preservation
[Instrumental]
[Verse 6]
Times one could trust religion
Days place your faith in preachers
For guidance along path spiritual
Non judgemental cultivation
[Repeat Chorus to Fade]
