[Verse 1]
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 think twice
[Chorus]
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
[Verse 2]
What part of history we've learned
When it's repeated?
Some things we'll never overcome
If we don't seek it
The world stops turning
Paradise burning
So don't think twice
[Chorus]
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
[Bridge]
We run for cover
Like a skyscraper falling down
And then I wonder
Like a troubled mind
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
