Living in the Hard Times

Living In The Hard Times

© 2017 Nagel

Verse 1

I rise up into the dark

Shake the pain away and pray for a better start

Chase the money down all day

And by the setting sun these debts still can’t be paid

Pre-Chorus 1

Love, don’t you know that I’m doing all I can

Seems nothing’s changing

Tell me…

Chorus 1

Why do we still barely get by?

Yeah tell me why do mothers, brothers, sisters cry?

Well I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know if we’re gonna survive

Living in the hard times

Verse 2

I pass an old man on the street

I catch a look I recognize of a pain so deep

I see a woman all alone

She’s just trying to fill the void of a broken home

Pre-Chorus 2

Love, don’t you know that they’re doing all they can

Still nothing’s changing

Tell me…

Chorus 2

Why do we still barely get by?

Yeah tell me why do fathers, sons and daughters cry?

Well I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know if we’re gonna survive

Living in the hard times

Bridge

Love, I can feel it all slipping through my hands

Is it too late to save this?

Tell me…

Final Chorus

Why do we still barely get by?

Tell me why do mothers, brothers, sisters cry?

I don’t know

Yeah, I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know if we’re gonna survive

Ooo, living in the hard times

Why do we still barely get by?

Yeah tell me why do fathers, sons and daughters cry?

Well I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know if we’re gonna survive

Living in the hard times

Living in the hard times

We are just living in the hard times

Yeah, living in the hard times
