Those Folk

Lyrics

I wake up in the morning and I check the news
That’s a sure-fire way to give myself the blues babe
Those mean old blues they been knocking at my door

There’s suffering and tragedy as far as the eye can see
And I can’t seem to shake the dark clouds in front of me
This stormy weather – I can’t take it no more

Strange times are here to stay
I don’t wanna know, but I just can’t look away
Strange times are here… to stay

Tell me – what kind of person wakes up lookin for a fight
I’ve got a big old window so I can see the light yeah
There’re so many good people, but I can’t hear what they say

You know – the loudest voice can come from a dangerous mind
It’s so hard to make a choice when the blind lead the blind
Half a dozen of one – six of the other
When the cards are stacked against you, you’ll always be outnumbered

Strange times are here to stay
I don’t wanna know, but I just can’t look away
Strange times are here to stay
I don’t wanna know, but I just can’t look away
Strange times are here… to stay

There’s a cold front moving in – Rattling my bones
There’s a heavy chance of rain – The weather man told me so
You know when it rains it pours and I’ve heard it all before
But it’s just so hard to take when your heart can take no more

Strange times are here to stay
I don’t wanna know, but I just can’t look away
Strange times are here to stay
I don’t wanna know, but I just can’t look away
Strange times are here… to stay
