These Days

from Fact From Fiction by Darryl Gregory

/

lyrics

I miss seeing Walter Cronkite
On the network evening news
Everything he said to me
Seemed like it was the truth
His voice was like my father’s
So serious and calm
I felt like was coming home
Every time I turned him on

But these days
I got nobody to turn to
These days
I don’t know who is wrong or who is right
These days are pullin’ me
Underneath the blankets
These days are turning
Into one long night

I miss seeing Johnny Carson
On TV late at night
I didn’t always get his jokes
But I guess that was alright
Easing out onto the stage
As Doc played that famous theme
He’d joke about our messed up world
And put my mind at ease

But these days
I got nobody to turn to
These days
I don’t know who is wrong or who is right
These days are pullin’ me
Underneath the blankets
These days are turning
Into one long night

I place my hand
Upon the TV set
A cool digital spirit
That conjures no respect
Junior High mentality
Pop culture fads
The good stuff’s all gone boy
And it ain’t comin’ back

Mary Tyler Moore’s not in
My house on Saturdays
Like she she used to be
Back in the 1970’s
She was like my big sister
Who moved far away from home
I could always drop in on her life
Whenever I felt all alone

But these days
I got nobody to turn to
These days
I don’t know who is wrong or who is right
These days are pullin’ me
Underneath the blankets
These days are turning
Into one long night
These days are turning
Into one long night
