In the great depression that's a time we have
Where we throw away sweet memories and we hold on to the bad
In the great depression who could have it worse
We're the loneliest by far in the whole wide universe

You better stop and just take a look around
You better stop and just listen to the sounds
Now let me tell you what's about to go down

In the great depression (the great depression) dreams are null and void
All your positivities positively been destroyed
Like a great obsession (a great obsession) that you just can't shake
Holding back the wild tide and making sure the dam don't break

You better stop and just take a look around
You gotta stop, just listen to the sounds
You know there's plenty that are here to be found

All your silver linings (all your silver linings) tarnish over time
You gotta get your head back in the clouds until that silver starts to shine
Till it's shining (in the great depression)
Till it's shining (in the great depression)
(In the great depression)
(In the great depression)
In the great depression
In the great depression
In the great depression
