How am I supposed to keep on going
When we always seem to find a way to turn back
How am I supposed to keep on searching for an answer
When you weren't bothered to ask?
Were the preachers and the plagues surrounding us all by mistake
Or maybe God must confess
This world is just an experiment
It turns and ends in detriment of everything that stands next
Pretty, please, don't blame me
It's the times we're living in
And don't ask me how I've been
Blame the times we're living in
With all these wise words for free
I'm still not able to see
Or choose which memories to keep
Oh, the times we're living in
(Oh-oh)
Remember when Lisa fell down?
Three meters trying to reach a flowing petal you couldn't catch
I kept it underneath the yellow papers
I was saving for the letters
She thought you'd share
So, have you thought about the work
You gotta do to write those words
And use 'em for your own best?
I bet you started pointing fingers to the broken systems
And lovers that couldn't last
"Come find a way, come find relief
Come take a break from what you believe in"
She spoke to me in a hazy dream
Then turn away from all my begging
I told her "Lisa, don't go too far
Girl, if you come back you'd have our hearts"
But she smiled at me cynically
Just like the day she decided to leave
Pretty, please, don't blame me
It's the times we're living in
And don't ask me how I've been
Blame the times we're living in
With all these wise words for free
I'm still not able to see
Or choose which memories to keep
Oh, the times we're living in
