These are hard times

I don't even have to tell you that these are hard times

The world is changing

People don't have jobs

And those that do are scared they're gonna lose 'em

The air is polluted, our food is full of poison

And all we do is stare at our phones waiting for a message

Anything to distract us, literally, anything

These are hard times, hell

Even that's an understatement, it's insanity

It's like nobody knows what's true anymore, and it's like nobody cares

We live in our bubbles and feed on each others' lies

My sorrow, your sorrow, huh, what's the difference?

We just want to be left alone

Leave us to our games, our celebrity gossip, our cheap thrills

And we won't complain, okay?

But just leave us the hell alone
