Of The Times Lyrics
Heard you say that you didn't like the state that the world is inNot a day passes that your faith in man don't get mighty grimYou say you want to have piece of mindYou tell me that you find life is much too unkindBut who else can you blame for the state of your mentalityIf you're just a part of the timesDon't dismay 'cause the dollar won't buy all the things you needYou must pay 'cause some other's gettin' high on his selfish greedYou say you want to have piece of mindYou tell me that you find life is much too unkindYou want to settle back into the old days of serenityIf you're just a part of the times(Do) you know you can go on from hereDim the past your future's clearPut the effort in what (you know) can beThe world will turn, deal with adversityYou put on a face for the crowdYou try to get past not allowedYou get what you give and you get it deservedlyAnd you take it a part of the timeYou will not get a thing for a dimeYou struggle through the passion the greed and the crime
