It's A Different World Now Lyrics - Rodney Crowell

To make the world a better place like dreamers often will 

We left our bed of roses to push that rock up hill 

The way we went about our task proved destined for to fail 

Who we thought we were . don't ask . there's no way you can tell 

It's a different world now... to say the least 

The sun comes up from in the west and sets down in the east 

The stars are out there shining but just where we can not say 

It's a different world now like night and day 

In the name of self defense we built bombs to prove a point 

And we'd drop them on our neighbors when their nose got out of joint 

To sell the same hamburger rain forests had to go 

"Hell, we don't need no air to breathe but just don't tell us no"

It's a different world now... without a doubt 

The raindrops fall to heaven and the tides go rolling out 

The rivers flow like powdered milk and the wind blows with a wheeze 

It's a different world now there are no trees 

I take a look around and I see ice caps in your eyes 

Desert where the swamp should be cold black canvas skies 

I take a look around and I see crossbones on a rose 

How we let this come to be seems no one really knows 

In life's rich beauty pageant we put children on a stage 

Said flash your soft white belly child but just don't act your age 

Sell sex like cotton candy to young and old alike 

When you'ved outlived the fantasy then you can take a hike

It's a different world now... but what to do 

We had our fifteen minutes and we blew it right on cue 

We used up mother nature like a twenty dollar whore 

It's a different world now ... there ain't no more
