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 we're were 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 was it 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
