These Days

Ending on a bad note Is like hanging 'round with sad folks The aftertaste is bitter (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) But gives you something to be glad for Well In these days We just need to find something to cope Don't reply to junk mail Or take the time to vote 'Cause every other day I see a shooting or a movie Where the world crumbles faster Than we ever could've hoped Landed in the deep end While tryna save a best friend I should've got there quicker (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) But I was too busy flexing Well In these days We just need to find something to love Don't reply to strangers Or throw breadcrumbs to the doves And every other day I see a shooting or a movie Where the world crumbles faster Than we ever would've thought Oh no And desperation can be the seed of greed When everything that you want becomes what you need And all those little mundane moments in between Grow dark and fall off beat I repeat (I repeat, I repeat, I repeat, I repeat) Driving through Laredo On my way to New Mexico Drifting off in deep thought When I crashed the car 'Cause in these days We just need something to wake us up Don't breathe too hard Or think too much or else you're fucked And every other day I see a shooting or a movie Where the world crumbles faster Than we ever would've thought These days These days These days These days We just need something to wake us up
