[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 blink twice

[Chorus]
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
[Verse 2]
What part of history we learned
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]
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times

[Bridge]
We run for cover
Like a skyscraper's falling down
Then I wander 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
