Song Notes
An ominous rocker that surveys an America on the brink of disaster, full of racial unrest and economic inequality. “I wish saying ‘we live in troubled times’ was a cliché, but it’s not,” says Armstrong. “Trump is preying on people’s fears, anger and desperation. … He’s feeding meat to hungry dogs.”

Lyrics
What good is love and peace on earth
When it's exclusive?
Where's the truth in the written word
If no one reads it?
A new day dawning
Comes without warning
So don't think twice
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
What part of history we learn
When it's repeated
Some things we'll never overcome
If we don't seek it
The world stops turning
Paradise burning
So don't think twice
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We run for cover
Like a skyscraper's falling down
Then I wonder like a troubled mind
What good is love and peace on earth
When it's exclusive?
Where's the truth in the written word
If no one reads it?
A new day dawning
Comes without warning
So don't look twice
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
