The Times We Live In

I'm a fairly positive guy
I like to keep my head in the sky
I shy away from the rhetoric
It's bad for your health and it makes me sick

I'm prepared most of the time to offer up a witty line
But when I hear the volume of hate today
I cover my ears,
I've got nothing to say

I don't belong
And I never will fit in
With the times we live in
The times we live in

I can hear my grandmother say
Manners are the gentlemens way
Be quick to listen and slow to speak
Slower yet to get angry, oh

I don't belong
And I never will fit in
With the times we live in

Whatever happened to civility?
Isn't it a pillar of society?
Society

I don't belong
And I never will fit in
With the times we live in

I'm gonna bury myself
In a great big book
I'm going to put on a hoodie
So I don't have to look

As the boat goes down, the boat goes down
And society drowns in its own hypocrisy
Disregard for humanity and its own stupidity
So we all go down the drain, down the drain
