Life and Times

Every night I watch the news

Random violence and abuse

It's these life and times (These life and times)

People living on a dare

So much hatred everywhere

Life and times

Don't you know

From the barrel of a gun

Brothers killing just for fun

These life and times (These life and times)

And compassion seems so rare

It's not personal, we don't care

In life and times

Life and times

Turn the page and times

Yes she is, oh so crazy

Always, always baby

I'm gonna lay straight this time

Knives and guns and gangs and war

Have we learned nothing from before?

Losing all

About me, myself and I

We gotta find a better way

Past futures on the way

To destruction

Some fools trying to make it in the place

Till they can't help but run free

These life and times (These life and times)

Brothers calling ladies hoes

Just to sell records, take the show

These life and times, oh

The real family's been replaced

Drugs and gangs taking their place

These life and times

There's an answer that is clear

But we must open our hearts to hear

It's these life and times

Say it with me, say

Life and times

Turn the page and times

Strange times

These life and times

What are we gonna do?

These life and times

Where are we gonna go?

How can we change it?

How can we arrange it?

Somebody tell me

The answer is yours and mine

Brothers calling ladies hoes

Yeah, yeah baby

Where are we gonna go?

We gotta make some changes

Strange times

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Tell me, tell me

Right at the end of the tunnel

We find a way down deep inside

I love you my sister

Yeah, yeah

Oh life and times

So strange

We're strange
