THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW
THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW
One could share what a heart would allow
Back then, when woke was not a real word
Without ever a need for it to be defended
Things that were genuine personal feelings
But nowadays, law has become corrupted
And social exchanges regularly disrupted
Now it’s a monitoring of private dealings
Even when any offence was not intended
Social norms have become quite absurd
But it is a fact, that was then, this is now
