Well we all knew things had to get better
If we kept acting rational and sane
I can see the clouds on the horizon
Bad times are comin round again
Comin round the corner cross the country
And shares are rising on the stock exchange
People are making hay while the sun shines
Cause bad times are coming round again
Bad times are comin round
Bad times are comin round
Bad times are comin round again
Well you might need a drink but you don't need a weather van
Bad times are comin round again
Well slaves dragged here by the millions
They worked and died till freedom was won
Now you look around for that freedom
See it slippin down the barrel of a gun
White man in suits lose all direction
And white man in hoods are back again
And running in the 96 election
Bad times are coming round again
Bad times are comin round
Bad times are comin round
Bad times are comin round again
Board up your windows
This will be a hurricane
Yuppies come and gentrify your neighborhood
Crusties say they'll fight it to the end
But no one asked the black or the latinos
Cause bad times are coming round again
Bad times are comin round
Bad times are comin round
Bad times are comin round again
Well you might need a drink but you don't need a weather van
Bad times are comin round again
Bad times are comin round
Bad times are comin round
Cause bad times are coming round again
Board up your windows
This will be a hurricane see less
