Lyrics

I go to bed But sleep won't come Get up in the night I couldn't stand my feeling no Early in the morning Oh mercy It's just the same situation Deep in the landlord Comes a knocking up on my door He's a knocking up on my door I've got 400 month rent to pay And I can't find a dollar Let me, Let me tell you Time Tough (Time Tough) Everything is out of sight, so hard (So hard) so hard (so hard) Time Tough (Time Tough) Everything is going higher and higher (Higher and higher) Sister Lee cannot bear it Brother Lincoln only stand it now They crying night and day, louder and louder Nobody to help them in their way I've got 400 month rent to pay And I can't find a dollar Let me, Let me tell you Good times won't lead into bad times But the bad times take over And when I was a little boy I just kept on feeling it, feeling it Can't blame the minister And you can't blame the preacher And you can't blame your brother And you cannot blame your sister Can't blame your friends Cuz today is judgement day And that's why everyone have to pray
