what happened to this world Listen to sample
Loosely based on the old song "riding on the new railroad", or " been all 'round this world", or whatever it's called, this is a little tongue-in-cheek poke at changes in today's world.
Will – guitar, fiddle, vocals, harmony vocalsLyrics:
Used to be you’d buy something, said “Made in U.S.A.”
We made the best stuff in the world, that’s what people say
Now you go and buy something it says C-H-I-N-A
What happened to this world
When I was younger I’d be working all the time
I’d do most anything for a dollar and a dime
Now when you offer that, it ain’t worth the time
What happened to this world
One thing I like to do is sit out in the sun
Doesn’t seem like there’s any way that could hurt someone
But take away the ozone layer takes away the fun
What happened to this world
Used to be I could just eat good food all the time
Now it seems with every thing there’s something bad they find
Watch your salt and cholesterol, keep blood pressure in line
What happened to this world
I always thought most people were just happy all the time
Content with their lot in life and everything just fine
Turns out they’re all on Prozac, pumping up their minds
What happened to this world
I been lately thinking, it seems sort of strange
No matter how much stays the same, it all wants to change No matter what happens, things want to rearrange
That’s what happens to this world
That’s what happens to this world
