R.e.m. Dangerous Times Lyrics

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
