(Music: Carl Wilson, lyrics: Myrna Smith-Schilling)
|
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
|
