[Verse 1] What good is love that feeds on earth? When it takes [?] Where’s the truth in the written word? If no one reads it A good day dawning Comes without warning So don’t blink twice {Chorus – 2x] We live in troubled times [Verse 2] What part of history we [?] 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
{Chorus – 3x] We live in troubled times [Bridge] We run for cover Like a skyscraper’s falling down [?] 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 good day dawning Comes without warning So don’t look twice {Chorus – 6x] We live in troubled times
