Mean Times

Questions on my mind where we going where we been? Where we are today I cannot recommend People on the street judging you off what they see Yeah there's nothing in between are you enemy or friend I can barely talk to some people I knew once I could chalk it up to I guess we just grew up You know that's a lie they were on the other side And it's easier to demonize than reach across divides Questions on my mind girl are we fine? These are mean times can we rewind? Why's the dollar sign looking like a peace sign? That's just over my head I'll never regret us making a mess It's only all those things we never said Baby tell me you know When the world got so cold Maybe that's just over my Over my head Questions on my mind where we going what's the end? Are we equal well I guess we'll just pretend People staying quiet they don't see it they deny it But the truth is that the truth cannot offend I thought it would be different, then I just grew up Live and let live, I guess that's just too much The people that are trying, same people left behind Same people that are dying, same people all the time Questions on my mind girl are we fine? These are mean times can we rewind? Why's the dollar sign looking like a peace sign? That's just over my head I'll never regret us making a mess It's only all those things we never said Baby tell me you know When the world got so cold Maybe that's just over my Over my head Questions on my mind When did hate become new? When did love become old? When did heroes turn few? When did cowards get bold? When did false become true? When did facts become things we could make up outta blue? What's a house you can't afford? What's opinion uninformed? What's a voice if you're ignored? What's freedom when it's enforced? There's nothing black or white There's only me and you But they want us all to think Things are only red or blue But I couldn't be whiter if I tried to I couldn't be nicer if I liked you We could treat each other same if we decide to So come to studio why don't you slide through slide through I get it yeah I get it nobody out here will listen They selling us lies all the time Swear they must work on commission The only story I believe is that the story is switching And that it keeps switching So turn that shit off, I need to give me a minute Questions on my mind girl are we fine? These are mean times can we rewind? Why's the dollar sign looking like a peace sign? That's just over my head I'll never regret us making a mess It's only all those things we never said Baby tell me you know When the world got so cold Maybe that's just over my Over my head
