Time's just a passin', everyone's fine if you ask 'em
Like we're pulling a fast one with our smiles
When it gets real bad, just raise your glass
We might as well laugh before we cry, oh, these crazy times

All the stores are closing early
Half the factories shut down
People are sleeping in the allies
'Cause we could only bail a couple out

Talking heads on the TV try to tell us what to do
How do you separate the truth from the fake
'Cause man I ain't got a clue

Time's just a passin', everyone's fine if you ask 'em
Like we're pulling a fast one with our smiles
When it gets real bad, just raise your glass
We might as well laugh before we cry, oh, these crazy times

I close my eyes and remember
The ones we lost last spring
Rising profits mix with goodness
Like that oil in the sea

Time's just a passin', everyone's fine if you ask 'em
Like we're pulling a fast one with our smiles
When it gets real bad, just raise your glass
We might as well laugh before we cry, oh, these crazy times
I remember when but forget how long it's been
Since we all lived in peace but you can't just sit
And grieve the growing gap between
What we know and believe
