I was raised to believe in America the land of the free

Went to church and school, saluted the flag
Sang my Country 'Tis Of Thee
And we trimmed a tree at Christmas

And believed in democracy
But everything has changed

I was taught the policeman was my friend

There was nothing I should fear

Now a badge is something scary

As my freedom disappears

Seems the world is going crazy
Things are really getting weird
Everything has changed

Everything has changed

The things we thought we knew

What they taught us to believe in
And they told us was true

Everybody has a number for a name
Now that everything has changed
 

There's a warning in the air
I can feel it plain as day

It's becoming so much harder
Just to keep the wolves at bay

As the vultures keeping trying to sell off

What they didn't give away

Everything has changed

Everything has changed
It blew away in the wind

The things we always trusted

To be there 'till the end

And it's difficult if not impossible to explain

How much everything has changed

Everything has changed

The things we thought we knew

What they taught us to believe in
And they told us was true

Everybody has a number for a name
Now that everything has changed

Yeah everybody has a number for a name
Now that everything has changed

Everything has changed

Everything has changed

Everything has changed

It Is What It Is
