It's a Different World Now
To Gmake the world a Dbetter place like Adreamers often Dwill
We Gleft our bed of Droses to Apush that rock up Dhill
The Gway we went aDbout our task proved Adestined for to Dfail
GWho we thought we Dwere, don't ask, there's Ano way you can Dtell
It's a different world now to say the least
The sun comes up from in the west and sets down in the east
The stars are out there shining but where we can not say
It's a different world now like night and day
In the name of self defense we built bombs to prove a point
We'd drop them on our neighbors when their nose got out of joint
To sell the same hamburger rain forests had to go
" we don't need no air to breathe but just don't tell us no "
It's a different world now without a doubt
Raindrops fall to heaven and the tides go rolling out
The rivers flow like powdered milk the wind blows with a wheeze
It's a different world now there are no trees
EmI take a look arDound and I see Emice caps in your Deyes
EmDesert where the Dswamp should be Em‘neath cold black canvaDs skies
EmI take a look arDound and I see Emcrossbones on a Drose
EmHow we let this Dcome to be seems Emno one really Dknows
In life's rich beauty pageant we put children on a stage
Said flash your soft white belly child but just don't act your age
Sell sex like cotton candy to young and old alike
When you've outlived the fantasy then you can take a hike
It's a different world now... but what to do
We had our fifteen minutes and blew it right on cue
We used up mother nature like a twenty dollar whore
It's a different world now .... there ain't no more
