Trouble Times

Since we had the baby I've been worrying much more
Seeing life through lenses like I've never seen before
Troubled by the TV and the world outside our door
Trouble times
They killed the twins Asser and Ayssel 3 days after they were born
2 of 18 thousand children killed and god knows they'll be more
While the people called for peace the powerful said
Trouble times
These are trouble times
Like we've never seen
Trouble trouble times
These are trouble times
Like they've always been
Trouble trouble times
And democracy is fading from a beacon to a flicker
And the people need the truth but technology is quicker
And we cannot keep the pace with what is face and what is fiction
Trouble times
And you cannot be indifferent
And you'll have to choose a side
And you'll find your echo chamber
And you'll never change your mind
And you'll never guess who's winning from dividing you and I
Trouble times
These are trouble times
Like we've never seen
Trouble trouble times
These are trouble times
Like they've always been
Trouble trouble times
And the children of our children will look back in disbelief
Like their parents did before them they'll say how couldn't we have seen
How history has taught us that we must stand up to these trouble times
And great Gaia will not worry for the rising of the seas
She will simply press reset we will simply cease to be
Ever since we had the baby I've been terrified of these
Trouble Times
These are trouble times
Like we've never seen
Trouble trouble times
These are trouble times
Like they've always been
Trouble trouble times
Trouble trouble times
Trouble trouble times
