These are the days
We think we're so clever
And sing our own praise
Don't get it together
These are the days
Of secrets and lies (no compromise)
Got nothing to say
Angels in heaven better save me

Now we got to step back
Something's wrong, don't want to preach
Kickbacks
Half the world don't get to eat
Ain't no tracks
But there's trouble, I believe
Can't break free
Nothing's perfect, I concede

These are the days
We race down the highway
Computer ablaze
The technical skyway
These are the days
We don't hear the cries (only goodbyes)
Well, I'm lost in the maze
Angels in heaven better save me

Now we'd better step back

Contact
Are we getting in too deep?
And back chat
Propaganda we don't need
They don't see
And they're going to make you bleed
