You read in the papers that it's all a mess 

That life isn't what it used to be 

They say that we all have to get used to less, 

recession strikes society 



[That it what can be done, and now that's the way thru all this] all the same 

It's just a game 



[Chorus] 

Time will tell if we are in trouble 

Time will tell, won't you tell me what's new 

Time will tell, I ain't gonna worry - nothing stops me from feelin' good 



[Solo] 



Endless discussions on the radio, 

About the way we have to go 

The politicians tell us what to do, 

I think it's all a boring show, oh 



[That it what can be done, and now that's the way thru all this] all the same 

It's just a game 



[Chorus] - yeah 



[Solo] 



[Chorus] 

Time will tell if we are in trouble 

Time will tell, won't you tell me what's new 

Time will tell, are we in trouble? Time will tell, tell me what's new 

Time will tell, are we in trouble? 

Time will tell, won't you tell me what's new...
