Strange Days - Nazareth

Try to stay away from the small talk

Try to keep an eye on your friends

Though you were instrumental

I can’t be sentimental

I was standing round the corner

But I knew that this would happen again

My heroes are leaving me

And now we do what we’re told

My heroes are leaving me

End of the day

Somebody’s got to pay

Strange days

When you try to give a hand

But the dog just wants to bite

He doesn’t want to understand

Strange days

Some can take it like a man

Strange days

Strange days

Go ahead and act like a martyr

But you can never handle the sting

Keep 'em misdirected

Your story is accepted

I was going to try to help you

But you had to throw your hat in the ring

My heroes are leaving me

Don’t want to do what I’m told

My heroes are leaving

Cold manipulation

A nasty defamation

Strange days

Who’s the man behind the mask?

With the poison in his pocket

While he’s eyeing up your glass

Strange days

Another gutless sycophant

My heroes have gone

Strange days

Better swallow up your pride

If you want to pay the rent

Then you better let it slide

Strange days

The truth will always be denied

Strange days

Strange days

Power Junky Monkey

He’s gonna have a flunky

Best to get him off your back

Right now

Strange days

It doesn’t matter about the facts

When you’re outside looking in

And they’re papering the cracks

Strange days

Trying to cover up the past

My heroes have gone

Strange days

Cause he has to be a Star

Demands and ultimatums

Lowering the bar

Strange days

We all know it’s gone too far

Strange days
