It's A Different World Now
To make the world a better place like dreamers often will We left our bed of roses to push that rock up hill The way we went about our task proved destined for to fail Just who we thought we were .. don't ask .. there's no way you can tell 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 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 Letras de cancionesWe 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 I take a look around and I see ice caps in your eyes Desert where the swamp should be neath cold black canvas skies I take a look around and I see crossbones on a rose How we let this come to be seems no one really knows From Letras Mania
