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    Where we 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 it was 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
