You wake up in the morning
Get something for the pot
Wonder why the sun makes the rocks feel hot
Draw on the walls
Eat, get laid
Back in the good old days
Then some damn fool invents the wheel
Listen to the whitewalls squeal
You spend all day looking for a parking spot

Benny turned the dial on his Short Wave radio
Oh, how he wanted to talk to the people
He wanted his own show
Tune in Moscow
Tune in New York
Listen to the Welsh kid talk
Communicating like in the good old days
Forgive me father for I have sinned
It was either me or him
And a voice said, "Benny
You f**ed the whole thing up
Benny your time is up

He wanted his own show
Tune in Moscow
Tune in New York
Listen to the Welsh kid talk
Communicating like the good old days, the good old days

[Welsh Policeman:] "Roger central, over and out."
Benny turned the dial on his Short Wave radio

Just like in the good old days
The good old days

Would have taken Americans hostage
If Ronald Reagan were president?
Do you really think the Russians
Would have invaded Afghanistan
If Ronald Reagan were president?
Do you really think third-rate military
Dictators would laugh at America
And burn our flag in contempt
If Ronald Reagan were president?"
[Concerned Citizen:] "Well, it might work!"
[Hostage:] "We as a group do most importantly
Want to beseech President Reagan
And our fellow Americans
To refrain from any form of military
Or violent means as an attempt
No matter how noble or heroic
To secure our freedom."
[Concerned Citizen:] "Sure!
Only it's going to be mighty dangerous
For you, Ca**idy
Hoppy's faithful sidekick
Guess you don't know Hopalong Ca**idy, mister.
Adventure's his bread
Excitement's his bu*ter
And danger
Why to him that's like
