Song Description

Left behind and lost in a changed world.

Lyrics

THE WORLD I KNEW

Whatever happened to the world I knew
It's changing so much it seems like a different place
What happened to Lou - he owned the corner store
He knew my birthday - the store's not there no more
What happened to Rosie when they tore the diner down

Whatever happened to old Doctor Stone
He took care of me when I was sick
Now where has he gone
And what's happening to me is that I worry every day
About my job and future - Afraid they'll slip away
Whatever happened to the world I knew

What happened to my world
What happened to my world
They've taken it away from me
It used to be so warm
I place where I belonged
But now I'm in a rowboat on an ocean in a storm

Whatever happened to the world I knew
Strange faces in all those old places
They don't know my name
And they rearrange my world from very far away
It's like monopoly - a game that they play
They don't care how it hurts the life I have made
Whatever happened to the world I knew
Whatever happened to the world I knew
