The Good Old Days

I do miss the good old days

Where we always just had a one-shot case

Where the casualties were low, and we cruised freely on the Impala

And all there was to take care of was our personal family drama

Where Dad was still alive, overlooking our every actions

And every hunt ended with a satisfactory conclusion

Where black-eyed demons were nothing but a minute nuisance

And angels weren't popping up everywhere, goading our defiance

Where it was just ghosts to eliminate, corpses to simply salt and burn

And we both had time to relax, time for prank wars, and time to learn

Where our Dad's journal was our ever-handy bible

And a homemade busted-up Walkman as our EMF meter

Where the monsters were tamer, and the game was much easier

And the world wasn't already falling apart and ending altogether

Where there was no massive responsibility strapped up on our backs

And my brother and I weren't wanted by every single hack

Where our souls were firmly intact, and not shattered and condemned

And Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory wasn't such a big problem

Where nobody we loved was dead due to our ignorance and incompetence

Where the monsters that we had to hunt wasn't our very selves

Where everything was simple, and not so horridly complicated

And we were just killing off some evil sons of bitches that we hated

I really do miss the good old days, as I always should...

But I can't linger on the past, because I know now they're gone for good.
