These Days These Days 1995 (J. Bon Jovi & R. Sambora)

I was walking around, just a face in the crowd,
Trying to keep myself out of the rain.
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown,
Wondered if I might end up the same.
There’s a man out on the corner, singing old songs about change.
Everybody’s got their cross to bare, these days.

She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams,
To a motel room on the boulevard, I guess she’s trying to be James Dean.
She’s seen all the disciples and all the wanna be’s,
No one wants to be themselves these days,
Still there’s nothing to hold on to but these days.

These days - the stars ain’t out of reach,
These days - there ain’t a ladder on the streets,
These days - are fast, love don’t last in this graceless age.
There ain’t nobody left but us these days.

Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly,
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes.
His mamma said he was crazy - he said “Mamma I’ve got to try”,
Don’t you know that all my heros died, and I guess I’d rather die than to fade away.

These days - the stars ain’t out of reach,
These days - there ain’t a ladder on the streets,
These days - are fast, love don’t last it’s a graceless age.
Even innocence has caught the midnight train,
And there ain’t nobody left but us these days.

I know Rome’s still burning, though the times have changed,
This world keeps turning round and round and round and round,
These days.

These days - the stars ain’t out of reach,
These days - there ain’t a ladder on the streets,
These days - are fast, love don’t last it’s a graceless age.
Even innocence has caught the midnight train.

These days - the stars ain’t out of reach,
These days - there ain’t a ladder on the streets,
These days - are fast, love don’t last, there ain’t no time to waste.
There ain’t nobody left to take the blame,
And there ain’t nobody left but us these days.
There ain’t nobody left but us these days.
