L     Hard Times    D

 

Got an old friend he’s younger than me

But he’s wise to the world cause he can see

Hard Time hangin’ around

He said look to the east and look to the west

They took all the jobs and went south I guess

Hard Times hangin’ around

 

Chorus:

Hard Time hangin’ Hard Times hangin’ Hard Times hangin’ around

He said look to the east and look to the west

They took our jobs and went south I guess

Hard Times hangin’ around

 

But what you gonna do when your job shuts down

And ain’t nobody got another job around

Hard times hangin’ around

You go to the store you gotta take all your dough

Cause it’s always worth less than it was before

Hard times hangin’ around

 

Chorus:

Hard times hangin’ hard time hangin’ hard times hangin’ around

When you go to the store you got to take all you’re dough

Cause it’s always worth less than it was before

Hard times hangin’ around

 

They pump a lot of money keep the banks afloat

And they toss us out of the last life boat

Hard times hangin’ around

They get a parachute made out of gold

And we get the breadline out in the cold

Hard times hangin’ around

 

Hard times hangin’ hard times hangin’ hard times hangin’ around

They get a parachute made out of gold we get a breadline out in the cold

Hard times hangin’ around

Now there’s millions of people got their hats in their hands

All just victims of the master plan

Hard times hangin’ around

They get the duck and we get the bill

It was like that then and it’s like that still

Hard times hangin’ around

 

Hard times hangin’ hard times hangin’ hard times hangin’ around

They get the duck and we get the bill it was like that then and it’s like that still

Hard times hangin’ around

Hard times hangin’ hard times hangin’ hard times hangin’ around

They get the duck and we get the bill it was like that then and it’s like that still

Hard times hangin’ around
