It's Not Like That Anymore

Used to try and give a shit
Used to be compassionate
Used to think that we should try to really make a change
Is it now I realize or is it just I sympathize?
With how much easier it is to live your life and not care

So I wait, yes I wait,
Am I the man I was before?
Well I wait, yes I wait
'Cause I know it's not like that anymore

Music was the bond we shared
The words inspired us and we dared
To believe that passion was enough
Where we just naive?
The battle cry of pissed off kids
Of getting high and kicking heads
Seems we've been consumed by mindless rage and corporate greed

So I wait, yes I wait
Am I the man I was before?
Well I wait, yes I wait
'Cause I know it's not like that anymore

Do you forget where you come from?
Do you feel you still belong?
Is there a place you can call home?
When you do something you should do it well
Make a difference though it's hard as hell

Kids ask me all the time what it was like back in the day
It's a feeling hard to describe, it's quite difficult to say
Romanticize the times gone by, they're just memories
There's so much to look forward to than this sentimental haze

So I wait, yes I wait
Am I the man I was before?
Well I wait, yes I wait
'Cause I know it's not like that anymore
