when Michael Jackson was innocent


life was so much simpler
when Michael Jackson was innocent
we all danced to Thriller
and sang along with the Jackson 5
we had fun with vinyl records
and we knew what every word meant
back in the 1980s
back when Michael Jackson was alive

I had my future before me
when Michael Jackson was innocent
back in the old days
when I played "I'll be There" on guitar
I would sing along with him
with high passion and intent
back in the 1980s
when Michael Jackson was a star

          why does life
          always change for the worse
          I don't know if time
          is a blessing or a curse

Oh, to be back in the day
when Michael Jackson was innocent
it seemed like we all had promise
even though it wasn't true
but now we worry about mental health
and how we're gonna pay the rent
back in the 1980s
when Michael Jackson lived in you
