Lyrics
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 are going mental Grandma's on the fentanyl now Strange days are here to stay 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 is 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 driver is running late I just lost my sense of humor 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 out of clay Are we in hell? Or is this just a fantasy I can't see this ending well Now it's too late Strange days are here to stay Ever since Bowie died It hasn't been the same All the madmen are going mental Grandma's on the fentanyl now Strange days are here to stay Strange days are here to stay
