lyrics
In the troubling times
There's no space for the man in the middle
From the withering highs
It's hard to see the ones below
When they're drawing the lines
How do you choose which side to stand on?
Find the truth in the lies
You won't walk this road alone
Well it's not all as it seems
And I don't know what it means
But we're still free in our dreams
In the shimmering light
You can solve the deepest riddles
In the heart of the night
You will feel its warmest glow
When the end is in sight
Moving through the darkest tunnels
Now you put up a fight
You will see how far you go
Well it's not all as it seems
And I don't know what it means
But we're still free in our dreams
(In the troubling times)
Well it's not all as it seems
(In the troubling times)
And I don't know what it means
(In the troubling times)
But we're still free in our dreams
(In the troubling times)
Yeah we're still free in our dreams
There's no space for the man in the middle
From the withering highs
It's hard to see the ones below
When they're drawing the lines
How do you choose which side to stand on?
Find the truth in the lies
You won't walk this road alone
Well it's not all as it seems
And I don't know what it means
But we're still free in our dreams
In the shimmering light
You can solve the deepest riddles
In the heart of the night
You will feel its warmest glow
When the end is in sight
Moving through the darkest tunnels
Now you put up a fight
You will see how far you go
Well it's not all as it seems
And I don't know what it means
But we're still free in our dreams
(In the troubling times)
Well it's not all as it seems
(In the troubling times)
And I don't know what it means
(In the troubling times)
But we're still free in our dreams
(In the troubling times)
Yeah we're still free in our dreams

Although I do agree I'd prefer more focus on the IRS era, this is a really solid collection of covers that delivers some unique takes. Totally inspired me to go back and listen to the original albums as well.
