Some days, all I need is a cup of coffee
And I’m back to bein’ what I was
But sometimes I just don’t know how to deal

You hear adults say all the time
I wish I could be a kid again
But don’t they know times have changed
It’s not what it used to be

I’ve been told
That you could see the water
From highway 98
I’ve been told
That yellow and black used to be so great
I’ve been told
That the internet used to be so safe
Oh but times have changed

In this world
You shouldn’t walk at night alone
In this world
There’s no such thing as too bold
In this world
There are names to make the bad seem good
In this world
Cause ya can seems to mean you should

But I don’t think so
I was brought up right
I’ve stayed away from trouble
Cause I seen what it does
With my very own eyes

Don’t they know
We shouldn’t be living like this
Don’t they know
We make a change
Don’t they know
It’s not just up to the next generation
Don’t they know
Can’t they see
Times have changed

You say it’s not your fault
That’s the way the world is
Oh but don’t ya know it shouldn’t be like this
What about all the little kids?
What about their lives?

Do you think
They should grow up
Seeing what’s on TV
Do you think
You can actually prevent them
From seeing the things you’ve seen?

I remember I saw the towers fall
When I was 8 years old
And it broke my heart to realize
That people did these things


We can make a difference
Don’t you understand
We can bring change
Don’t you understand
It’s not what it used to be

Oh my…how times have changed….

Don’t you understand
We can make a difference
Don’t you understand
We can bring change
Don’t you understand
It’s not what is used to be

Ohhh… how times have changed

I know I was 8 too when the towers fell. I couldn't believe it. For about a week in my naive mind I didnt think anyone could really do that I blamed my neighbor, who I was fighting with, who was maybe ten. I thought it was his fault. Then I realized that it wasn't and i was schocked.
