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

There's 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 runnin' 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 Katmandu

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 the 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 smoking and no one's getting high

Everybody's flying and never touch the sky

There's a UFO 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
