These are sad times
World gone mad times
Men doing bad times
Lord what is this world coming 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 our daddy's quit staying
And the mommas quit praying
Even the children quit tryin'
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
World gone mad times
Men doing bad times
Lord what is this world coming 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 our daddy's quit staying
And the mommas quit praying
Even the children quit tryin'
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
