Gotta try some new things!

lyrics

TRYING TIMES

Trying times,
When you walk to work with the holes in your shoes.
There's no breadlines,
But you can't afford to drink away the blues,

That is, unless you choose.

And your mind,
Is crushed beneath a months rent or two.
It’s almost a crime,
That there’s no rug to slip from under you.

Sometimes, it feels like a zoo

But you have to try,
And you'll get by.
Count enough nickles, you got a subway ride.

Walkin' the line,
Because another ticket would be the death of you.
Waitin' for that sign,
Tired of redefining soon.

Time will make circles around you

You stay inside,
Cuz saving money is a popular thing to do.
Surfing through websites,
Lookin' for hyperbole in the news.

There must be something else to do.

Well Don't be shy,
Put on a crazy tie,
Every night is a chance to make shit up on the fly

Well don't be shy,
Put on a crazy tie,
You gotta try some new things during these trying times.
