You realize the words are meant to make fun of conservatives pining for the days when some old car that no longer exists ran great, when people weren't taken care of, when the guy who put the country into a terrible depression was in office, etc. It was pure leftist propaganda, designed to demean the people singing.

What astonished Norman Lear and Carroll O'Connor was that Americans loved Archie Bunker, and agreed with him on many of his opinions, which Lear wrote for him because he thought they were so outrageous it would diminish all the Archie Bunkers out there. But it didn't. Nixon won the biggest reelection in history in 1972 when the democrats ran a guy who had Norman Lear's politics.
