Green Day - Strange Days Are Here To Stay Lyrics

We stumble down the avenue

Like fairy dust, and ballyhoo

They promised us forever

But we got less

There's no such thing as promises

Just secret codes from alphabets

They promised us forever

But we got less

# Pre-Chorus

These are the best of times

Twisted and borrowed times

These are the loneliest of times

# Chorus

Strange days are here to stay

Ever since Bowie died

It hasn't been the same

All the madmen going mental

Grandma's on the fentanyl now

Strange days are here to stay

# Verse 2

This is how the world will end

When superheroes play pretend

They promised us forever

But we got less

It's the return of the blob

And Jesus gonna quit his job

He promised us forever

But we got less

# Pre-Chorus

These are the best of times

Twisted and borrowed times

These are the loneliest of times

# Chorus

Strange days are here to stay

Everyone is racist

And the Uber's running late

I just lost my sense of humor

Gen-Z killing, baby boomer now

Strange days are here to stay

# Post-Chorus

Lonely boy

With a heart made of hate

Baby Babylon

And making guns made out of clay

# Bridge

Are we in hell?

Or is this just a fantasy?

I can't see this ending well

Now that it's too late

# Chorus

Strange days are here to stay

Ever since Bowie died

It hasn't been the same

All the madmen going mental

Grandma's on the fentanyl now

Strange days are here to stay

# Outro

Strange days are here to stay

Strange days are here to stay
