What good is love and peace on earth? When it's exclusive? Where's the truth in the written word? If no one reads it A new day dawning Comes without warning So don't blink twice We live in troubled times We live in troubled times What part of history we learned When it's repeated Some things will never overcome If we don't seek it The world stops turning Paradise burning So don't think twice We live in troubled times We live in troubled times We live in troubled times We run for cover Like a skyscraper's falling down Then I wander like a troubled mind What good is love and peace on earth? When it's exclusive Where's the truth in the written word? If no one reads it A new day dawning Comes without warning So don't look twice (We live in troubled times)
