Aspen, These Days Lyrics

I used to think of myself as
   a soldier
Holding his own against
   impossible odds
Badly outnumbered and
   caught in a crossfire
Of devils and gods.

All I ever wanted to be was
   free
All I ever wanted to see
   was within my eyes to
   see
Oh, but, these days
Are just like you and me
These days
Are just like you and me.

You used to be something
   I could believe in
How could you let me
   forsake myself so,
You used to think of your
   life as a riddle
With no answer known.

All you ever wanted to be was
   free
All you ever looked for
   was what was within
   your sights to see
Oh, but, these days
Are just like you and me
These days
Are just like you and me
These days
Are just like you and me.

We used to live like
   there was no tomorrow
Tasting our trials
   a day at a time
Laughing at sorrow
   and crying for justice
Such innocent crimes.

All we ever wanted to be was
   free
All we ever looked for
   was what was within
   our eyes to see
Oh, but, these days
Are just like you and
   me
These days
Are just like you and me
Just like you and me.
You know they're just like
   you and me.
