attempt 19 of one of the most underrated green day songs ever, i also fucked up the last line of the first verse but y'know
---------------
What good is love and peace on Earth
When it's exclusive?
Where's the truth in the written word
If we don't see it?
A new day dawning
Comes without warning
So don't think twice
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
What part of history we've learned
When it's repeated?
Some things, we'll never overcome
If we don't seek it
The world stops turning
Paradise burning
So don't look twice
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We run for cover
Like a skyscraper falling down
And then I wander
Like a troubled mind
What good is love and peace on Earth
When it's exclusive?
Where's the truth in the written word
When no one reads it?
A new day dawning
Comes without warning
So don't look twice
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times

troubled times — green day (cover)

Rob Fillo – New Single: "Troubled Times" 

With Troubled Times, Rob Fillo offers a gripping reflection on the distractions and self-destructive patterns that define modern society. From the addictive pull of news and social media to the numbing effects of alcohol and drug use, Fillo’s gut-punch performance captures the emotional weight of a world teetering on the edge of chaos. His lyrics vividly paint a scene of internal struggle intertwined with societal breakdown, resonating deeply with the frustrations and anxieties of our times. 

The song’s hard rock energy is unmistakable—gritty guitar riffs, driving drums, and raw, powerful vocals amplify the urgency of the message. But beneath the heavy sound lies something more: a call to pause and consider where these distractions are leading us, and to reconnect with the values and relationships that offer true meaning in the face of 
adversity. 

Behind the scenes, Cameron P. Lawrence, who produced the track and selected the instrumentation, adds a powerful sonic depth to Troubled Times. Lawrence’s choice of commanding guitar tones and driving rhythms underpins the emotional gravity of the song, allowing Fillo’s raw vocals to take center stage. The result is an immersive soundscape that heightens the tension of the lyrics, creating a balance between force and reflection. 

Troubled Times is more than just a rock anthem. It’s a visceral commentary on modern life that speaks to anyone who has felt overwhelmed by the relentless pace of the world around them. Fillo’s emotive performance cuts through the noise, offering a moment of reflection in a time of widespread confusion. Through the storm of chaos, the song clings to the idea that there is still something worth fighting for—an anchor in a sea of distractions. 

Fillo’s raw vocals and Lawrence’s gripping instrumentation give Troubled Times the kind of emotional punch that stays with you long after the final note fades. This track is not just about survival, but about confronting the turmoil head-on and finding clarity in the moments that remind us of what truly matters.
