[Verse 1]
This land's corrupt
They keep us medicated so that they can handle us
I can't, I'm drunk
And I'm having trouble standing up
Broke and bruised up
Put food in my gut to soak the booze up
Use the news to provoke and confuse us
But I won't get used up
My kid can make some money when I'm dead
That's a joke, but it only sounded funny in my head
Ain't the classiest boy
Jehovah's witnesses don't even ask me to join
We worship the sun
Get up every morning and the courtship's begun
They give a bigger portion to some
But baby, I ain't no fortunate one

[Hook]
What strange days
But it pays in the same ways
Strange days, but it pays

[Verse 2]
Eyes are barely open
Not sure where we going
What happens there, where we go then
Well here we go again
Causing mischief with the laws of physics
God can witness, but odd's he isn't
Not because he isn't there
It's just not his business
Avoid me out of self preservation
That's something that you should've learned in health education
It's one hell of a lesson
Thrown through the window of a delicatessen
I could do this with a gun to the side of my face
Calm and collected, not a line out of place
Have a little hit if you're fine with what it takes
Suck the devil's dick if you don't mind the taste
[Hook]
What strange days
But it pays in the same ways
Strange days (Strange, pays, strange, pays, days)
