What good is love and peace on earth?
When it's exclusive?
Where's the truth in the written word?
If no one reads it
A new day dawning
Comes without warning
So don't blink twiceWe live in troubled times
We live in troubled timesWhat part of history we learned
When it's repeated
Some things will never overcome
If we don't seek it
The world stops turning
Paradise burning
So don't think twiceWe live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled timesWe run for cover
Like a skyscraper's falling down
Then I wander like a troubled mindWhat good is love and peace on earth?
When it's exclusive
Where's the truth in the written word?
If no one reads it
A new day dawning
Comes without warning
So don't look twice(We live in troubled times)
