I'm shouting all about love,
While they treated you like a dog.
When you were the one who had made it so clear
All those years ago.

I'm talking all about how to give,
They don't act with much honesty.
But you point the way to the [bad word] when you say
All you need is love.

Living with good or bad,
I always looked to you.
Now we're left cold and sad
By someone, the devil's best friend,
Someone who offended all.

We're living in a bad dream,
They've forgotten all about mankind.
And you were the one they backed up to the wall,
All those years ago.
You were the one who imagined it all,
All those years ago.

All those years ago.

Ooh,
All those years ago.

Deep in the darkest night,
I send out a prayer to you.
Now in the world of light,
Where the spirit free of the lies,
And all else that we despised.

They've forgotten all about god,
He's the only reason we exist.
Yet you were the one that they said was so weird,
All those years ago.
You said it all though not many had ears,
All those years ago.
You had control of our smiles and our tears,
All those years ago.
