Manners are at thing of the past

Being the boss, the leader, the loudmouth has taken over

No more opening doors for the ladies

No more saying hi to a stranger on the street

Life has turned us back to animals or a beast

True love doesn't last, vows are all broken

Kids of today do not listen to the elders

Shivery of the knight in shinning armor has been buried away

Marriage is in half, and shacking up it the new thing

But in my dreams I still live on that plain

Where a man is a gentleman and want to hold hands

Who walks me to the door to make sure I'm safe

To lightly kiss my hand instead of a barbarian embrace

To stay in slumber is the only real thing

To make manners come alive, to bring happiness and peace
