Back when i was born,
F.D.R.was president
the country was at war,
but we trusted the Government.

And when we were at home
we were taught the golden rule
because you see,back then,
Mama didn't raise no fools.

And when we went to school,
we walked,and we were glad
we talked as we walked,
but we didn't talk bad.

Mama didn't allow no cusing
and we lived by mama's rule
because,you see,back then
mama didn't raise no fools.

But now,things are different
and i aint talking about me
i'm talking about you
and the things that i see

Seems people have plane forgot
all about mama's rule
guess thats why the world
is just plumb full of fools.
