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
