It could've caused quite a scandal
If people only knew
But they didn't and that's the way that it was
When certain things were taboo
Discretion was the better part of valor
Best to keep it on the QT
All those loose lips could sink your ship
The truth won't always set you free
No one could see us
We were invisible
Even standing side by side
Before the world had its picture taken
We could hide
Remember when you didn't have any access
You only knew what you were told
When I think about the way that it was I feel old
Back then it was a simpler time
At least that's what I'd like to believe
No one would ever wanna do anything wrong
No one would ever try to deceive
Nowadays everyone's got a window
A clear and unobstructed view
You'd think with all that information
That we would know, we would know what to do
I don't want to sound nostalgic
I don't pine away for the glory days
But there's something to be said
For hiding your dirty laundry
I don't need to know all your wicked ways
