Well, you know the boss was a good man, |
|
But kindness on its own don't pay. |
|
"You can figure you're part of the cut-back" |
|
Was all that he could say. |
|
Hard times, |
|
Well, they sure do hit, |
|
Hard times. |
|
Well, the dollar you got in your pocket |
|
Ain't worth a dime when you got it - |
|
Hard times. |
|
It's a messy situation |
|
Keeping the wolf from the door. |
|
How can I stay solvent |
|
When they're hounding me for more? |
|
Hard times, |
|
Well, they sure do hit, |
|
Hard times. |
|
Well, the dollar you got in your pocket |
|
Ain't worth a dime when you got it - |
|
Hard times. |
|
Well, the Government's got advisors, |
|
And they're sitting on Capitol Hill. |
|
They're balancing the budget, |
|
But they still can't pay the bill. |
|
Hard times, |
|
Well, they sure do hit, |
|
Hard times. |
|
Well, the dollar you got in your pocket |
|
Ain't worth a dime when you got it - |
|
Hard times. |
|
Oh, hard times, |
|
You're down on your luck. |
