SOJA (Soldiers Of Jah Army) - Used To Matter

See these days it's different, it's all new
The world is gone and I am too
Wishing I was closer to
Back when it used to matter
All my coins are gone, it's plastic now
My iPod's got me asking how
Could all my albums take me down?
Back when it used to matter

Now it seems that we are
All wrapped up so tight
Life just can't get in
And I feel that we can't see
Now it seems that we
Aare all wrapped up so tight
Life just can't get in
And I feel, it's not maybe

So my watch is worthless, so is my pen
And it seems nothing's greater than
Something that takes me way back when
Back when it used to matter
All the words I write are on a screen
And the friends I have are mad at me
And there's no record of anything
Now we all cease to matter

Now it seems that we are
All wrapped up so tight
Life just can't get in
And I feel we can't see
Now it seems that we
Aare all wrapped up so tight
Life just can't get in
And I feel, it's not maybe
It's not maybe

(..)

So the time when you turn twenty-two
But they're gonna wait to bury you
Cause you've got a nine to five to do
And that's supposed to matter
And you replace your time in between
With other people's hopes and dreams
And live their lives on your T.V.,
And now you don't even matter

Oh it seems that we
Are all wrapped up so tight
Life just never gets in
And I feel, that we can't see
That we can't see
Oh that we, oh that we
Are all wrapped up so tight life just never gets in
And I feel, that we can't see
It's not maybe, it's certainly
And I know we can't see
I just want us to be
Who we're supposed to be
Who we're supposed to be
Who we are
And well doesn't it seem kind of far?
From the original plans of the stars
Back when it used to matter
