Nobody Told Me

Eveybody's talking and no one says a word
Everbody'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
No one told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there be days like these
Strange days indeed-- most peculiar, mama

Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move
Everyone's a winner and no one seems 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 no one makes a sound
There's a place for us in movies you just gotta stay 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 no one's getting high
Everybody's flying and never touch the sky
There's UFO's 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
