[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
