(berry/buck/mills/stipe) These are dangerous times Nothing to care or die for These are dangerous times What you want, someone will buy for you Don't get away It's so easy to wait You've been wearing the green I've been wearing the fall And you said that all was just agreed (chorus) Don't get away Don't get away I saw a guy out on the street Said, i know what you need, boy I can set you fine I didn't buy his line, because These are dangerous times I don't want to get old You say that everything's fine Then you leave me standing in the cold (repeat chorus) It's so easy to fall You've been trying to gain I've been trying to stop But it's catching up with me again (repeat chorus) These are dangerous times It's a dangerous time Don't get away (it's a dangerous time) Don't get away (it's a dangerous time) Don't get away (it's a dangerous time)
