"These are sad times World gone mad times Men doing bad times Lord what is this world coming to Between religions and wars Drugs and divorce Hell it seems like the whole world is fightin' The sun might be shining But even the skies are blue These are hard days Heavy old hard days Dead string guitar days And the devil is picking his tune When daddy's quit staying And the mommas quit praying Even the children quit trying God must be crying Cause even the skies are blue We all know a way To make a better day Why isn't anyone trying The sun might be shining But even the skies are blue
