  • 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 twice

    We live in troubled times
    We live in troubled times

    What 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 twice

    We live in troubled times
    We live in troubled times
    We live in troubled times

    We run for cover
    Like a skyscraper's falling down
    Then I wander like a troubled mind

    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 look twice
