lyrics

Is the collapse coming faster?
From unexpected directions
Mix in a pandemic disaster
And some rotten elections
It’s a long way from divine
It starts to feel like a crime
To live in interesting times

The care-free childhoods we shared
Are now a distant dream
Everybody’s running scared
Fear in our bloodstreams
Look around for the signs
Its part of the design
We live in interesting times

Like Al Pacino said, “The whole thing’s out of order”
Weather’s out of whack, viruses attack, don’t ask about the water
But we’re all too distracted, with Netflix and wordle
While the milk of human kindness, it all starts to curdle

This plot no writer would have tried
Its just not remotely believable
As Wally Shawn said in Princess Bride
‘The whole thing is inconceivable’
don’t have to read between the lines
you should have caught us in our prime
we live in interesting times

Is there an ending to this story?
Can we write a better third act?
Have to do more then just take inventory
Of these inconvenient facts
Increase the love that you find
And above all, be kind
Living in interesting times
