Story of Our Times

This is the story of our times But you don't have to listen I always wondered about our hearts Then I found them missing I'm tired of hunger But it sure beats giving up I went along until the walls went up And I was chained to all that But that's not who I am anymore I left him in our bed Though I knew he wasn't sleeping He said they'd pass right through I knew what would happen Last I heard he'd taken every oath From our door the soldiers come and go And I was chained to all that But that's not who I am I was chained to all that But that's not who I am I was chained to all that But that's not who I am Anymore 'Cause the past is not time It's not lies It's not a photograph But life On rewind On repeat It's a never-ending ride On repeat On rewind Not a photograph The past isn't lies, isn't time When every farm is dust And waterfalls are frozen Blink twice with your light I'll be in the mountains You can laugh all day but I wouldn't keep it up Run on hope, you'll die living on luck And I was chained to all that But that's not who I am I was chained to all that But that's not who I am I was chained to all that But that's not who I am I was chained to all that But that's not who I am I was chained to all that But that's not who I am I was chained to all that But that's not who I am I was chained to all that But that's not who I am I was chained to all that But that's not who I am (Chained to all that) (Chained to all that) This is the story of our times You don't have to listen
