These Crazy Times Lyrics - Promising Promises - Jon Mclaughlin

Time's just a passin' 

Everyone's fine if you ask 'em 

Like we're pulling a fast one with our smiles 

And when it gets real bad 

Oh, just raise your glass 

We might as well laugh before we cry 

Oh these crazy times 

 

All the stores are closing early 

And half the factories shut down 

People are sleeping in the allies 

'Cause we could only bail a couple out 

Talking heads on the TV screen 

They 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 

And when it gets real bad 

Oh, 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 

 

Now time's just a passin' 

Everyone's fine if you ask 'em 

Like we're pulling a fast one with our smiles 

And when it gets real bad 

Oh, 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, I believe 

 

And time's just a passin' 

And everyone's fine if you ask 'em 

It's like we're pulling a fast one with our smiles 

Oh when it gets real bad 

Just raise your glass 

We might as well laugh before we cry 

Oh these crazy times 

 

Well I'm running out of new words to say 

And the sky's been a grayish blue for days 

And the slowly growing sympathy 

Waits for me on every face. 

 

I'm trying to figure out what clever is 

I look for clues in awkward silences. 

And I don't know what happened 

But I've been this way ever since. 

 

And the truth that keeps me up at night 

Is somehow hard to recognize 

And the world is keeping both my eyes closed. 

Yeah everybody knows. 

 

There are elephants in every room I see, 

They softly hum beneath the words we speak. 

We've sugarcoating everything 

And now it's rotting out my teeth. 

 

And the truth that keeps me up at night 

Is the hardest thing to recognize. 

And the world is telling my eyes 

What to see 

And everybody knows but me. 

 

To live you have to know what to ignore 

Decisions set the good and bad at war 

Your life is what you've chosen, but 

Living is the back and forth. 

 

And the truth that keeps me up at night 

Is the hardest thing to recognize. 

And the world is pulling my eyes closed, closed. 

And time's not what she used to be 

She's turned into an enemy. 

And all that was in front of me is behind. 

God knows how I try.
