1st Verse:
From far back as I recall
some heavy things been comin' down.
In my time, oh yeah, in my time.
There's been atom bombs and love-ins,
riot cops, folks on the ground.
In my time, yes indeed, in my time.
1st BRIDGE:
I've seen children starve from this side 
of a flowered TV tray
and die in wars proposed by those
who never liked life anyway,
and there's a another dozen countries
bein' saved by the C.I.A...
In my time, yes indeed, in my time.
2nd Verse:
I've seen little kids and men in beards
who claim to be the one.
In my time, oh yeah, in my time. 
But them Jesus folks just say
that's triple six against the Son.
Been abused, hey I've been used, in my time.
2nd BRIDGE:
I've
seen poisons labeled harmless
for the sake of purity
And the air so thick with smog
there'll soon be no one left to see
and the ones who hold the reins ain't
got the sense God gave a tree...
Folks are blind, it blows my mind, in my time.
VOCAL W/INSTRUMENTAL:
Tah-tah-tah, tah-tah-tah, tah-tah-tah, t-t-tah=tah-tah, Oh Yeah, Uh-Huh,
in my time.
3d BRIDGE:
And I've seen Holy rollin' game shows
with a dollar bill as God,
but for the ones who hold money
added power's all they want
And folks just struggle harder
for the things that they ain't got.
Shed a tear for us here
In our time.
VOCAL W/INSTRUMENTAL:

OF THE TIMES"
