Jack Kennedy - Mean Times Lyrics

Questions on my mind where we going where we been?
Where we are today I cannot recommend
People on the street judging you off what they see
Yeah there's nothing in between are you enemy or friend
I can barely talk to some people I knew once
I could chalk it up to I guess we just grew up
You know that's a lie they were on the other side
And it's easier to demonize than reach across divides

Questions on my mind girl are we fine?
These are mean times can we rewind?
Why's the dollar sign looking like a peace sign?
That's just over my head
I'll never regret us making a mess
It's only all those things we never said
Baby tell me you know
When the world got so cold
Maybe that's just over my
Over my head

Questions on my mind where we going what's the end?
Are we equal well I guess we'll just pretend
People staying quiet they don't see it they deny it
But the truth is that the truth cannot offend
I thought it would be different, then I just grew up
Live and let live, I guess that's just too much
The people that are trying, same people left behind
Same people that are dying, same people all the time

Questions on my mind girl are we fine?
These are mean times can we rewind?
Why's the dollar sign looking like a peace sign?
That's just over my head
I'll never regret us making a mess
It's only all those things we never said
Baby tell me you know
When the world got so cold
Maybe that's just over my
Over my head

Questions on my mind
When did hate become new?
When did love become old?
When did heroes turn few?
When did cowards get bold?
When did false become true?
When did facts become things we could make up outta blue?
What's a house you can't afford?
What's opinion uninformed?
What's a voice if you're ignored?
What's freedom when it's enforced?
There's nothing black or white
There's only me and you
But they want us all to think
Things are only red or blue
But I couldn't be whiter if I tried to
I couldn't be nicer if I liked you
We could treat each other same if we decide to
So come to studio why don't you slide through slide through
I get it yeah I get it nobody out here will listen
They selling us lies all the time
Swear they must work on commission
The only story I believe is that the story is switching
And that it keeps switching
So turn that shit off, I need to give me a minute

Questions on my mind girl are we fine?
These are mean times can we rewind?
Why's the dollar sign looking like a peace sign?
That's just over my head
I'll never regret us making a mess
It's only all those things we never said
Baby tell me you know
When the world got so cold
Maybe that's just over my
Over my head
