time's just a passin'
everyone's find if you ask 'em
like we're pulling a fast one with our smiles
when it gets real bad
just raise your glass
we might as well laugh before we cry
oh these crazy times

all the stores are closing early
half the factories shut down
people are sleeping in the allies
cause we could only bail a couple out
talking heads on the tv
try to tell us what to do
how do you separate the truth from the fake
cause man I ain't got a clue

time's just a passin'
everyone's find if you ask 'em
like we're pulling a fast one with our smiles
when it gets real bad
just raise your glass
we might as well laugh before we cry
oh these crazy times

I close my eyes and remember
the ones we lost last spring
rising profits mix with goodness
like that oil in the sea

time's just a passin'
everyone's find if you ask 'em
like we're pulling a fast one with our smiles
when it gets real bad
just raise your glass
we might as well laugh before we cry
oh these crazy times

I remember when
but forget how long it's been
since we all lived in peace
but you can't just sit and grieve
the growing gap between
what we know and believe
