It`s A Different World Now

<br>To make the world a better place like dreamers often will<br>We left our bed of roses to push that rock up hill<br>The way we went about our task proved destined for to fail<br>Just who we thought we were .. don`t ask .. there`s no way you can tell<br><br>It`s a different world now...to say the least<br>The sun comes up from in the west and sets down in the east<br>The stars are out there shining but where we can not say<br>It`s a different world now like night and day<br><br>In the name of self defense we built bombs to prove a point<br>We`d drop them on our neighbors when their nose got out of joint<br>To sell the same hamburger rain forests had to go<br>&quot; we don`t need no air to breathe but just don`t tell us no &quot;<br><br>It`s a different world now... without a doubt<br>Raindrops fall to heaven and the tides go rolling out<br>The rivers flow like powdered milk the wind blows with a wheeze<br>It`s a different world now there are no trees<br><br>In life`s rich beauty pageant we put children on a stage<br>Said flash your soft white belly child but just don`t act your age<br>Sell sex like cotton candy to young and old alike<br>When you`ve outlived the fantasy then you can take a hike<br><br>It`s a different world now... but what to do<br>We had our fifteen minutes and blew it right on cue<br>We used up mother nature like a twenty dollar whore<br>It`s a different world now .... there ain`t no more<br><br>I take a look around and I see ice caps in your eyes<br>Desert where the swamp should be neath cold black canvas skies<br>I take a look around and I see crossbones on a rose<br>How we let this come to be seems no one really knows
