Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
Didn't have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standin' by
But "happily ever after" fails
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales...
You can lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end....
This is the end of the innocence
"The End of The Innocence", Don Henley
