about

Written by Pete Mancini and Matt Patton

lyrics

Found an old television
Beat up and in need of repair
Tried to fix the television
Gave up now it’s sitting there

I thought about the days
I didn't have much
And that was all I’d ever need
Time moved slow
But I didn't understand
Time was sneaking out on me

Old theme songs and breaking news
Jingles and guarantees
packed into boxes
And left out on the curb
The past is a movie that I don't wanna see
I don't wanna see

I inherited a medal
My grandfather earned in the second world war
For bravery in air combat
A keep-safe in my bureau drawer

He didn’t say much
About those days
All the days that came before
He didn’t care much
For bringing up the past
But he damn sure knew what he was fighting for

Old theme songs and breaking news
Jingles and guarantees
packed into boxes
And left out on the curb
The past is a movie that I don't wanna see
The past is a movie that I don't wanna see
I don't wanna see

Found an old television
Beat up and in need of repair
Couldn’t fix the television
It’s back on the curb and I don’t care

Old theme songs and breaking news
Reruns of memories
packed into boxes
And left out on the curb
The past is a movie that I don't wanna see

Old theme songs and breaking news
Jingles and guarantees
packed into boxes
And left out on the curb
The past is a movie that I don't wanna see
The past is a movie that I don't wanna see
The past is a movie that I don't wanna see
