Lyrics

What's the use in staying
When everything's a lie
I hear what you're saying
And it makes me want to cry

You know the truth is so overrated
That should come as no surprise
It's all so complicated
Especially in these times

Don't it make you crazy
Don't it make you ask yourself why
Nobody's got an answer
Especially in these times

Life is like a puzzle
Best to chose the edges first
And work back to the middle
To the places where it hurts

Lately I've been thinkin'
Maybe there's a chance for us
If we take it slow now
And don't expect too much

Don't it make you wonder
Don't it make you ask yourself why
Nobody's got an answer
Especially in these times
And don't it make you crazy
Don't it make you ask yourself why
Nobody's got an answer
Especially in these times

Ooh, ooh
(What's the use in stayin', when everything's a lie
And there's nothing sacred, especially in these times)

Hey don't it make you crazy
Don't it make you ask yourself why
Nobody's got an answer
Especially in these times
And don't it make you wonder
Don't it make you ask yourself why
Nobody's got an answer
Especially in these times
In these times
