[Intro]
(Gasp!}
Oh, golly
Remember…
The way that things use to be
[Refrain]
I came to see
I’d rather be
Then, the way that things use to be
(the way that things use to be)
[Verse]
Back then, during when
There was war (and so much more)
OH! And, so much more
At least now, I’m alive
Get to try n’ survive
[Bridge]
So, I thrive
As I’ve come to realize
Better for me to be
(Then, the way that things use to be)
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Piano, Bass]
[Refrain]
I’ve come to see
I’d rather be
Then, the way that things use to be
(the way that things use to be)
[Break]
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills]
Then, the way that things use to be
[Verse]
Or would your rather wake-up dead
What else can be said
I’ve come to see
I’d rather be
All of me here, now
To hear how
To be me
[Refrain]
I’ve come to see
I’d rather be
Then, the way that things use to be
(the way that things use to be)
