There was a time when we had something to believe in
Peace & rock & roll were gonna change the world
Now we’re living in a world at war – with nothing left worth fighting for
Once we had something left to prove
Now all we’ve got is nothing left to lose
Long gone bad – too far too fast
Ain’t no use livin’ in the past
We’ve already blown every chance we had - long gone bad
He was a heavy metal cowboy – on the trail of broken dreams
Wondering if he’d ever make it home
Now he rides on through the night – in one way overdrive
Once there were bridges left to burn
Now all that’s left – is nowhere left to turn
Long gone bad – too far too fast
Ain’t no use livin’ in the past
He’s already lost everything he had - long gone bad
Long gone bad – we’re too far gone
This is the dark before the dawn
We gotta live in a world gone mad – long gone bad
