That Was Before the World Changed

So I called up my bank
I said Hey give me a loan
He said You don’t have enough
equity in your home
I said “You used to do backflips
at the sound of my name”
He said “Yeah that was before
the world changed”

That was before the world changed
That was before the world changed
Close your eyes count to ten nothing’s the same
Not since the time before the world changed

So the counselor. slash. coach said
what’s your five-year-plan
I said I got to year three
then it just popped in my hand
I said nothing stayed put
to where I had it arranged
She said “Yeah that was before
the world changed”

That was before the world changed
That was before the world changed
Close your eyes count to ten nothing’s the same
Not since the time before the world changed

I wanna yell “Hey planet stop moving so fast!”
I wanna play by the rules
But the rules have to last
Now there’s a bunch of good people
walkin’ ‘round half insane
And I think it started happening
when the world changed

That was before the world changed
That was before the world changed
Close your eyes count to ten nothing’s the same
Not since the time before the world changed
