Times Like These

Anything we say

Would just be a big cliché

Not a word I can think of

Could ever be big enough

Well, if I were Superman, this would be my cue

But I’m Joe Nobody and there’s not a thing

That I can do

It’s at times like these I wish I could

Get on my knees and somehow put

My arms around the world

Put my arms around the world and make it better

There’s blood on my TV

It’s making me guilty

Stereo sound-bites

Live by satellite

Well, if I were a hero, I’d be doing something now

But I sit doing nothing and I watch the walls

Come tumbling down

It’s at times like these I wish I could

Get on my knees and somehow put

My arms around the world

Put my arms around the world and make it better

I thought we were doing alright

I thought we were safe in our sleep

I knew that reality bites

But I didn’t know it could bite so deep

It’s at times like these I wish I could

Get on my knees and somehow put

My arms around the world

Put my arms around the world

At times like these I wish I could

Get on my knees and somehow put

My arms around the world

Put my arms around the world and make it better
