These Days (Acoustic) Lyrics

Darling, won't you lock the door, I'm scared of going out

There's a big, mean, nasty world, they'll kill me, no doubt

If I go beyond these walls, my words misconstrued

I'll be dead before sunrise, you know people hate the truth

These days it's not what you say

These days it's the evil games you play

These days you twist the truth, you bend the facts

If someone looks weak then you attack

These days

Darling, I'm not sure I heard that deadbolt click in place

I don't mean to bother you, I just feel I'm being chased

It's the news at six on politics, just fuels my paranoia

With hateful words they'll hold you down so that's all they'll show ya

These days it's not what you say

These days it's the evil games you play

These days you twist the truth, you bend the facts

If someone looks weak then you attack

These days

They're puppeteers, ventriloquists, they'll fool you with ease

They will steer their sinking ship devoid of sympathy

An empty vessel, no conscience to wrestle

What a life when you think you're always right

These days it's not what you say

These days it's the evil games you play

These days you twist the truth, you bend the facts

If someone looks weak then you attack

If you wanna be strong there's money for that

If you wanna be tall, stand on someone's back

'Cause what's honest work to a Cadillac?

And when's integrity ever paid you back?

In these days
