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 T.V.  too much
 And all  that hippie  hopefullness  is just a crutch
 But if thinking  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 dunno, how can you be so sure
 I mean, some things seem to get better
 The hero still saves the damsel in distress
 The villan 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"
 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?

And [Bm7]all t[Aadd]hat [D]hi[G]pp[F#m7]ie ho[G]pefullness is just a cru[Aadd]tch [D]   [G]     [Aadd]         [D]
But if t[Em7]hinking that way h[F#m7]elps you
