Everybody's talking and no one says a word   Everybody's making love and no one really cares   There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs      Always something happening and nothing going on   Always something cooking and nothing in the pot   They're starving back in China so finish what you got      Nobody told me there'd be days like these   Nobody told me there'd be days like these   Nobody told me there'd be days like these   Strange days indeed, strange days indeed      Everybody's running and no one makes a move   Everyone's a winner and nothing left to lose   There's a little yellow idol to the north of Kathmandu      Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground   Everybody's crying and no one makes a sound   There's a place for us in movies you just gotta lay around      Nobody told me there'd be days like these   Nobody told me there'd be days like these   Nobody told me there'd be days like these   Strange days indeed, most peculiar, mama      Everybody's smokin? and no one's getting high   Everybody's flyin? and never touch the sky   There's UFOs over New York and I ain't too surprised      Nobody told me there'd be days like these   Nobody told me there'd be days like these   Nobody told me there'd be days like these   Strange days indeed, most peculiar, mama
