As seen through my eyes, it's
 tougher all over
 You can read it in the news of
 the world
 Been shot down in flames by a
 face with no name
 The image of truth is unheard of
 It's hard to take it
 So will you make it
 You start to wonder
 Chorus:
 And now you're goin' through
 Hard Times
 You're goin' through Hard
 Times no one can deny
 You're goin' through
 Hard Times
 Look around you it's Hard Times
 So now you learn from the
 concrete and pavement
 It's hard to see through city lies
 Ironic it seems all the sweet
 talk and dreams
 Have turned to the things
 you despise.
 It's hard to take it
 So will you make it
 You start to wonder
 Repeat Chorus
 It's hard to take it
 So will you make it
 You start to wonder
