Old schoolyard the place where life was at its best As friends we met there No man's land our land on the edge of town Where all of us believed that we were heroes Now it's not the same This place in my memories where I often came Now the things have changed The kids don't play there They don't play there anymore Autumn fair the place to walk and fool around While no one had a dime Crossing town where gangs would fight Collecting christmas trees to burn on every corner Now it's not the same This place in my memories where I often came Now the things have changed The kids don't play there And then comes independance day The day to move and find your way No more games to play The end of childhood came Crossing town it seems the mall's the place to hang around A last resort to kill the time Now it's not the same This place in my memories where I often came Now the things have changed The kids don't play there Now things have changed It's not the same (as I remember)
