Times Is Hard | |
Times is hard. Times is tough. | |
Nothin's easy. It's all rough. | |
There's not much right; so much gone wrong. | |
All I can do is play this song. | |
You're watchin' the news. It all looks bad. | |
The worst half-hour you ever had. | |
What in God's name is goin' on? | |
All I can do is play this song. | |
You're losin' your job, your house and your car. | |
Hittin' rock bottom don't feel that far. | |
Nothin' good is gonna come along. | |
All I can do is play this song. | |
Folks are scared watchin' that news. | |
Folks feel bad. They're gettin' the blues. | |
My poor stomach, it ain't that strong. | |
All I can do is play this song. | |
Times is rough. Times is hard. | |
Take a pair of scissors to your credit card. | |
Circuit City just said, 'So long.' | |
All I can do is play this song. | |
Who's at fault? Who gets the blame? | |
Let's string up Bernie what's-his-name. | |
And ask Alan Greenspan to come along. | |
All I can do is play this song. | |
They want your gold, and they'll pay cash. | |
The only silver lining is the price of gas. | |
Money's short and the odds are long. | |
All I can do is play this song. | |
The factory's closed. The bank is bust. | |
On the money it says, 'In God We Trust.' | |
So pray for all your stocks and bonds. | |
All I can do is play this song. | |
Outta luck. Outta hope. | |
I'm wonderin' why I even cast that vote. | |
I took that sign offa my front lawn. | |
All I can do is play this song. | |
There's a new man down there in D.C. | |
They say he's gonna help you and me. | |
They sure know how to bang the gong. | |
All I can do is play this song. | |
Last man in D.C., he had eight years. | |
Now the whole damn country is in arrears. | |
We got two, three, four wars goin' on. | |
All I can do is play this song. | |
Times is hard. Times is rough. | |
I guess you folks need some cheerin' up. | |
Well it ain't me babe. You got that wrong. | |
All I can do is play this song. | |
You heard it here. I sang it first. | |
Don't feel so bad; things are gonna get worse. | |
Consider yourselves all strung along. | |
All I can do is play this song. | |
All I can do is ... |
