THESE ARE THE TIMES

Lyrics By:  Alex Dixon

 

THE TIME HAS COME, LISTEN TO ME MY FRIEND

IT STARTED HAPPENING FROM THE VERY BEGIN

I DON’T KNOW IN THIS LIFETIME I’M GONNA WIN

I DON’T KNOW BABY, WHEN THIS MESS IS GOING TO END

 

THESE ARE THE TIMES

THESE ARE THE TIMES

 

YOU GOT PEOPLE CRYING AND LOSING THEIR HOMES

HERE NOW, AND THE NEXT DAY IT’S GONE

ALL IS BROKEN NOW, JUST LIKE A STONE

WHILE BANKS ARE CLOSING, DRY AS A BONE

 

THESE ARE THE TIMES

THESE ARE THE TIMES

 

SEEN SOMETHING ON T.V. ABOUT “CAN’T YOU SEE THE SIGNS?”

INVESTORS AND BANKS HAVE ALL BEEN CAUGHT LYING

I DON’T KNOW IF IT’S THE OLD MAN’S DESIGN

MAYBE THE CLOCK IS TICKING ON ALL MANKIND

I WRITE THESE THINGS, CAUSE THESE ARE THE TIMES

 

THESE ARE THE TIMES

THESE ARE THE TIMES

 

BEEN TALKING ABOUT THINGS IN THE FUTURE AND PAST

HARD TO DRIVE NOW, CAN’T AFFORD THE GAS

HOPE MY JOB SITUATION GETS BETTER FAST

WHILE THE BILL COLLECTOR (OR TAX MAN) TAKES EVERYTHING I HAVE

 

THESE ARE THE TIMES

THESE ARE THE TIMES
