Times are strange
One day I was walking
When I met a man named Paul
He was looking for a scapegoat
I was looking for a cause
Back and forth we argued
About politics and blame
Where money is the measure
Resentment its endgame
Times are strange
No doubt about it
Half the world's insane
Something's strange
I woke up in the morning
Turned on the breakfast news
The milk was sour, the shower went cold
The weather's all confused
Fools & madmen hold the reins
The cart pulls the horse
People milling in the streets
Impatient for a voice
Cries of Armageddon
Conspiracy and hoax
The rumours grow more restless
Another day another joke
When the levee breaks
The flood will end the doubt
Power back to the powerless
Flush the pretenders out
Times are strange
No doubt about it
Half the world's insane
Something's strange
