Of The Times Lyrics

Heard you say that you didn't like the state that the world is in

Not a day passes that your faith in man don't get mighty grim

You say you want to have piece of mind

You tell me that you find life is much too unkind

But who else can you blame for the state of your mentality

If you're just a part of the times

Don't dismay 'cause the dollar won't buy all the things you need

You must pay 'cause some other's gettin' high on his selfish greed

You say you want to have piece of mind

You tell me that you find life is much too unkind

You want to settle back into the old days of serenity

If you're just a part of the times

(Do) you know you can go on from here

Dim the past your future's clear

Put the effort in what (you know) can be

The world will turn, deal with adversity

You put on a face for the crowd

You try to get past not allowed

You get what you give and you get it deservedly

And you take it a part of the time

You will not get a thing for a dime

You struggle through the passion the greed and the crime
