These are sad times World gone mad times Men doing bad time Lord what is this world going to Between religions and wars Drugs and divorce Hell it seems like the whole world is fight'n The sun might be shining But even the skies are blue
These are hard days Heavy old hard days Dead string guitar days And the devil is picking his tune
When daddy's quit staying And the mommas quit praying Even the children quit fight'n God must be crying Cause even the skies are blue
If we all know a way To make a better day Why Isnt anyone trying The sun might be shining But even the skies are blue
