We stumble down the avenue Like fairy dust, and ballyhoo They promised us forever But we got less There's no such thing as promises Just secret codes from alphabets They promised us forever But we got less These are the best of times Twisted and borrowed times These are the loneliest of times Strange days are here to stay Ever since Bowie died It hasn't been the same All the madmen going mental Grandma's on the fentanyl now Strange days are here to stay Well, this is how the world will end When superheroes play pretend They promised us forever But we got less It's the return of the blob And Jesus gonna quit his job He promised us forever But we got less These are the best of times Twisted and borrowed times These are the loneliest of times Strange days are here to stay Everyone is racist And the Uber's running late I just lost my sense of humour Gen-Z killing baby boomer now Strange days are here to stay Lonely boy With a heart made of hate Baby Babylon And making guns made out of clay Are we in hell Or is this just a fantasy? I can't see this ending well Now that it's too late Strange days are here to stay Ever since Bowie died It hasn't been the same All the madmen going mental Grandma's on the fentanyl now Strange days are here to stay Strange days are here to stay Strange days are here to stay
