We used to play Cowboys We used to play Indians We used to play Pirates Sailing swift the Caribbean Now we play worn out Doctors Accountants counting others millions Now we play overworked Business Men Stuck behind cubicles locked inside buildings We used to climb mountains Explore backyard jungles Always at the ready to take The adventure set before us Now we set the alarm Every morning to wake us Not ready for the adventure Or where it will take us We used to fly high like birds Not knowing our limits Along the way take what others would say Knowing they really meant it Now all we do is drive Each other insane Putting up with lie after lie Day after day We used to be kids We used to have fun Something we seem to have left behind The day we grew up

That Was Then, This Is Now
We used to play Cowboys We used to play Indians We used to play Pirates Sailing swift the Caribbean Now we play worn out Doctors Accountants counting others millions Now we play overworked Business Men Stuck behind cubicles locked inside buildings We used to climb mountains Explore backyard jungles Always at the ready to take The adventure set before us Now we set the alarm Every morning to wake us Not ready for the adventure Or where it will take us We used to fly high like birds Not knowing our limits Along the way take what others would say Knowing they really meant it Now all we do is drive Each other insane Putting up with lie after lie Day after day We used to be kids We used to have fun Something we seem to have left behind The day we grew up
