lyrics

HARD TIMES

One day the world spent too much money, cash it didn't have
We all saw red & now we're in it, discipline's up for grabs

These are hard times, these are very hard times
You may sink or you may swim, you may lose or you may win
But these are hard times, these very, very hard times

The house is in foreclosure and you can't afford a beer
Oh look! There's a new ferrari and a narcissist at the wheel

These are hard times, these are very hard times
You may run or you may hide, leave us to stem the tide
But these are hard times, these are very, very hard times

Billions up in oily flames, the price of the unjust war
Hundreds dying daily, hell is keeping score

These are hard times, these are very hard times
You may stew on that chance you rue
Or maybe there was nothing you could do
These are hard times, these are very, very hard times

I'm feeling pretty sick now but I can't afford the pills
Do I blame myself or the faces on the bills (that I don't have)?
These are hard times, these are very hard times

So the writing's on the wall, I guess I'll start to dig my hole, phew!
These are very hard times
