Strange Days (Commentary)

Gotta live more than you're dying

Gotta laugh more than you're crying

Don't let anybody tell you that the end is coming soon

It's never too late to let it go

But you're never gonna learn if you don't know

That if the creek don't rise, the roses ain't gonna bloom

In these strange days indeed

When you don't know what to believe

In these strange times, I swear

Right now, it's just all too much to bear

Lord, I swear

Grind yourself down to the bone

What you reap is what you've sown

But what the hell's the matter with the noose around your neck?

Yeah, you can drink or you can pray

You can fantasy another day

Or have a hell of a time with the time that you've got left

In these strange days indeed

When you don't know what to believe

In these strange times, I swear

Right now, it's just all too much to bear

Lord, I swear

You ain't special, you ain't blessed

Just a stressed out fucking mess

Just like her, like him, like us, like me and them

In these strange days indeed

When you don't know what to believe

In these strange times, I swear

Right now, it's just all too much to bear

Lord, these strange days indeed

When you don't know what to believe

In these strange times, I swear

Right now, it's just all too much to bear

Lord, I swear

Lord, I swear
