Song | It's A Different World Now |
Artist | Rodney Crowell |
Album | Fate's Right Hand |
作词 : Crowell | |
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 | |
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 | |
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 |
