Of The Times

Heard you say that you didn't like the state that the world is in
(It's just a part of the times)
Not a day passes that your faith in man don't get mighty grim
(It's just a part of the times, of the times)

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, oh

Don't dismay 'cause the dollar won't buy all the things you need
(It's just a part of the times)
You must pay 'cause some other's gettin' high on his selfish greed
(It's just a part of the times)

You say you want to have piece of mind
You tell me that you think life is much too unkind
You want to settle back into the old days of serenity
But you're just a part of the times, oh

You know you can go on from here
Dim the past your future's clear
(It's just a part of the times)

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, oh

You will not get a thing for a dime
You struggle through the passion the greed and the crime
But who else can you blame for the state of your mentality
If you're just a part of the times, oh

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, oh

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, oh
