We used to walk in the sun with our heads held up high
We used to stand on our own, and we never asked why
We used to do everything we were told not to do
But now we all stand in line like the rest of them do

And now it's gone, gone, gone
Tell me, when did things go so wrong?

We used to laugh in their face at the things that they said
And if we had to be them, then we'd rather be dead
And now we all stand in line like the rest of them do
We let it all slip away, tell me, what did we do?

And now it's gone, gone, gone
Tell me, when did things go so wrong?
And now it's gone, gone, gone
Tell me, when did things go so wrong?

All right, yeah

And now it's gone, gone, gone
Tell me, when did things go so wrong?

We used to walk in the sun with our heads held up high
We used to stand on our own, and we never asked why
We used to do everything we were told not to do
But now we all stand in line like the rest of them do

And now it's gone, gone, gone
Tell me, when did things go so wrong?
And now it's gone, gone, gone
Tell me, when did things go so wrong?
