These days

These days have never been harder nor have they been easier
These days have never been tougher on the soul nor have they been so uplifting
These days lady luck ain't a comin' knockin' yet she sleeps in my bed
These days I'm worried over the future yet so giddy with anticipation over the possibilities
These days friends come and go, the bullshit stays the same
These days are self-centered, deadlined and dollared yet...
These days are the best days of my life.

In the words of Eddie Vedder in Corduroy- "Everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed".
