Dangerous Times - R.E.M.

These are dangerous times

Nothing to care or die for

These are dangerous times

What you want, someone will buy for you

Don’t get away

It’s so easy to wait

You’ve been wearing the green

I’ve been wearing the fall

And you said that all was just agreed

But, don’t get away

I saw a guy out on the street

Said, I know what you need, BOY

I can set you fine

I didn’t buy his line, because

These are dangerous times

I don’t want to get old

You say that everything’s fine

Then you leave me standing in the cold

All alone

But, don’t get away

It’s so easy to fall

You’ve been trying to gain

I’ve been trying to stop

But it’s catching up with me again

But, don’t get away

These are dangerous times

It’s a dangerous time
