Hard Times

It's hard times in Washington

Hard times in Tennessee

Hard times for everyone

Hard times for you and me

It's hard times in the public places

Hard times in the factories

Hard times on the corporate farms

Hard times on the company seas

Hard times

It's hard times

It's hard to watch it all go down

Drowning like the setting sun

Hard to watch our freedoms taken

Hard to lose what we had won

It's hard to watch the towers tumble

Hard to watch the struggling town

Hard to watch the bastards smile

While they tear the Constitution down

Hard times

It's hard times

But it's hardly time to take a seat

Hardly time to lose your voice

Hardly fair to just complain

As if we never had a choice

For we are born to work and choose

We are born to rip and mend

We are born to win and lose

We are born to lose and win

Hard times

It's hard times

Hard times

It's hard times
