lyrics

The world as you once knew it
One day was obsolete
The hair had gone out of fashion
They danced to a different beat
You stubbornly resisted
Determined not to bend
The world as you once knew it
Had come to an end

The world as you once knew it
Had a much less hectic pace
People used to meet in public
They’d sit face to face
Now we type an instant message
And stare into the screen
The world as you once knew it
Been replaced by a machine

The world as you once knew it
You can read about in books
Or visit a museum
Walk around and take a look
At the relics and the fossils
And the trinkets in the stores
The world as you once knew it
Come see the dinosaurs

The world as you once knew it
Fetched a real good price
The bidding done in secret
Some souls were traded twice
And now blessed are the greedy
And cursed are the poor
The world as you once knew it
Now she’s just another whore

The world as you once knew it
Spun out of control
It was gravity that did it
The lure of all that gold
There’s nothing like nostalgia
To make you feel bereft
Of the world as you once knew it
Yet it’s all that you’ve got left

The world as you once knew it
Where you once had a home
Sometimes you think you see it
From whenever you may roam
The places and the faces
They form one big collage
Of the world as you once knew it
But it’s only a mirage

The world as you once knew it
You hear it when she talks
It’s in the way she looks at you
It’s in the way she walks
Pity the poor wretched soul
Who can not recognize
The world as you once knew it
When he sees it in her eyes
