So the Golden Age passed away to silver
   But that was long ago
   There were swimming holes and the Vaudeville
   They gave way to this
   Bronze turned itself slowly into iron
   And here we are today
   If what you say has a grain of truth
   The age of rust is soon
   Please, it's not a thing just to bring you down
   It's just a passing phase
   But who'll believe your piano played itself
   A long forgotten air
  
   CHORUS
  
   The Golden Age, it'll never fade away
   Today just don't seem the same
   The Golden Age, it'll never fade away
   If you were there
   There will always be someone telling you
   That these are wicked times
   Rainy days come down just to make you think
   Of all the shades of grey
   No one knew that you liked to paint
   Until they cleaned your room
  
   CHORUS
