Four of us were having dinner

And I threw down the paper with a curse

And my wife said

Complaining doesn't get it

You got to do something or you can bet it

Will get worse

And my friend said

You've been watching

TV too much

And all that hippie hopefulness

Is just a crutch

But if thinkin' that way helps you

To make it through the night

Then who am I to say

What's wrong and right

But I think we're passing

Through here kind of fast

Did you think these tracks

In the dust would last

I think we're passing

Through here kind of fast

Did you think these tracks

In the dust would last

So you think we should just sit here

And have another glass of wine

While the world goes to hell

Which you know damn well

It's going to do just down the line

And his lady said I don't know

How can you be so sure I mean

Some things seem to get better

You know the hero still saves the

Damsel in distress

The Villain doesn't get her

And I said

Where have you been living

I mean they're selling death in the streets

Cheap

And the lying politicians are rolling

In the profits they reap

And he said

He's right honey

But I think it's always been that way

And he smiled kind of patiently

And I knew he was going to say

I think we're passing

Through here kind of fast

Did you think these tracks

In the dust would last

I think we're passing

Through here kind of fast

Did you think these tracks

In the dust would last

I think we're passing

Through here kind of fast
