These Are The Times

Still waiting for the curve to come down
For some news we can use
Takes a steady mind to power through and find
News of the heart
Walking backwards, can't shake out a dime
In this new world, these are the times
Walking backwards, can't shake out a dime
It's a new world, this is the life
These are the times

A hundred one years, pandemic blues again
Life in lockdown
Don't let your hope, your driving force
Drag on the ground

Walking backwards, can't shake out a dime
In this new world, these are the times
Walking backwards, can't shake out a dime
It's a new world, this is the life
These are the times

Political lines hasten the graves, the slow road saves
Waitin' for the word, for a cure in sight
Turn on the city lights

Walking backwards, can't shake out a dime
In this new world, these are the times
Walking backwards, can't shake out a dime
It's a new world, this is the life
These are the times
