Lyrics
I had trouble falling asleep, again
I heard warnings of a new disaster
There's a new story about deceit and corruption
There's a very bad man in the government
Kira said to me,
"It's the end of the world"
And she's not even joking about it
What do we do now?
When disaster's coming for you?
Maybe pick up a megaphone, and scream and shout
Tear it all down, and start it all over again
Just to make sense of where
Things went wrong
In our Tumultuous Times
I read the chyrons on the screen today
Got a real bad feeling about the state of things
I know there's dark clouds rising from another catastrophe
And there's a man with a gun on the loose
Kira said to me,
"There's a new kind of terror"
And she says it without a hint of irony
What can we do now?
When the tragedy hits you?
But yell at the internet at the top of your lungs
Or maybe take to the streets
On a regular workday
Maybe shut down the government
I love these tumultuous times
I heard your stories from the church pews
I heard the whispers of a revolution
I heard Peter tell to you
"There's a new kind of demon"
And he's speaking in tongues by the water
People are talking about a miracle maker
But he can't even save himself
What did you do then?
When the hordes were coming for you?
Maybe put on a smile, then
And take the punches
Love your neighbor
Try to help one another
And pray for the destitute among us
I hate these tumultuous times
I heard your story from the congregation
I heard the rumors of a brand new order
I know John the Baptist is a very good man
And he's on the lam with the ransom
Judas is a brother with a terrible secret
And he's on the take from the government
What did you do then?
When your friends were turning on you?
Steel your resolve then, and prepare for the worst
Stiff upper lip
Try to be a good person
And give up yourself to the world
In our tumultuous times
'Round these tumultuous times
