[Intro. (Acoustic Guitars)]
|
|
Four of us were having dinner
|
And I threw down the paper with a curse
|
And my wife said complaining doesn't get it
|
You got to do something or you can bet it will get worse
|
|
And my friend said you've been watching TV too much
|
And all that hippie hopefulness is just a crutch
|
|
But if thinkin' that way helps you
|
To make it through the night
|
Then who am I to say
|
What's wrong and right
|
|
But I think we're passing
|
Through here kind of fast
|
Did you think these tracks
|
In the dust would last
|
|
I think we're passing
|
Through here kind of fast
|
Did you think these tracks
|
In the dust would last
|
|
[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitars)]
|
|
So you think we should just sit here
|
And have another glass of wine
|
While the world goes to hell which you know damn well
|
It's going to do just down the line
|
|
His lady said I don't know how can you be so sure I mean
|
Some things seem to get better
|
You know the hero still saves the damsel in distress
|
The villain doesn't get her
|
|
And I said where have you been living
|
I mean they're selling death in the streets
|
Cheap
|
And the lying politicians are rolling in the profits they reap
|
|
And he said he's right honey
|
But I think it's always been that way
|
And he smiled kind of patiently
|
And I knew he was going to say
|
|
I think we're passing
|
Through here kind of fast
|
Did you think these tracks
|
In the dust would last
|
|
I think we're passing
|
Through here kind of fast
|
Did you think these tracks
|
In the dust would last
|
|
[Instrumental (Acoustic Guitars)]
|
|
I think we're passing
|
Through here kind of fast
