We Didn’t Know That Was Bad Yet

"We Didn't Know It Was Wrong" Is song primarily by Stan when his efforts to rejuvenate interest in the 1950s in "American Dad Graffito" ends up hurting several people and he tries the brush off the end result as just part of everyday life in the 50s.

Lyrics[]

Stan: We didn't know that was bad yet
We didn't know that could kill ya
Turn back the page to an innocent age
We didn't know it was wrong
Black man: You threw a lawn dart in my skull!
We didn't know it was wrong!
Red-haired woman: You stabbed my son!
We didn't know, we didn't know
Blonde woman: You threw asbestos in my face!
Now you're insulated, dude
Businessman:My genitals!
Wow, you're Howdy Doody smooth
Turn back the page to an innocent age
We didn't know it was wrong
Black man with lawndart: But what if someone gets hurt?
Stan: The nurses all wear funny hats!
Stabbed boy: What about the rampant sexism and racism?
Stan: [cheerleader-style] It was wrong then and it is wrong now and in our new '50s, it isn't allowed!
[A carload of Fonzie imitators pull up]
Stan: The Fonzies came!
Fonzie imitators: Ay
Ay
Ay
Ay
We're Fonzies and we're here to say
Ay
Ay
Ay
Ay
50's fever's here to stay
Stabbed boy: I get it! The '50s were about willful ignorance!
Stan: Now you're razzin' my berries!
Boy with ball cap: So I don't have to go to school?
Stan: That was the opposite of cool
Asbestos blonde woman: And I can litter on the ground?
Stan: I call it nature's lost and found
Black man with lawndart: And I can eat trans fats?
Stan: Some say that's where the flavor's at
Red-haired mom of stabbed boy: So I can stab my son?
Stan: It's just a nick, and yes, it's fun!
Old man: So I can drink and drive?
Stan: Fonzie did it all the time
'Fonzies: [Shrugging] Ay!
Stan: Turn back the page to an innocent age
We didn't know it was wrong
