Carl Wilson - Of The Times lyrics

Heard you say that you didn't like the state that the world is in Not a day pa**es that your faith in man don't get mighty grim You say you want to have piece of mind You tell me that you find life is much too unkind But who else can you blame for the state of your mentality If you're just a part of the times Don't dismay 'cause the dollar won't buy all the things you need You must pay 'cause some other's gettin' high on his selfish greed You say you want to have piece of mind You tell me that you find life is much too unkind You want to settle back into the old days of serenity If you're just a part of the times (do) you know you can go on from here Dim the past your future's clear Put the effort in what (you know) can be The world will turn, deal with adversity You put on a face for the crowd You try to get past not allowed You get what you give and you get it deservedly And you take it a part of the time You will not get a thing for a dime You struggle through the pa**ion the greed and the crime
