Hard Times Songtext
von Wishbone Ash

Well, you know the boss was a good man
But kindness on its own don′t pay
"You can figure you're part of the cut-back"
Was all that he could say

Hard times
Well, they sure do hit
Hard times
Well, the dollar you got in your pocket
It ain′t worth a dime when you got it
Hard times

It's a messy situation
Keeping the wolf from the door
How can I stay solvent
When they're hounding me for more?


Hard times
Well, they sure do hit
Hard times
Well, the dollar you got in your pocket
It ain′t worth a dime when you got it
Hard times
Yeah

Well, the Government′s got advisors
And they're sitting on Capitol Hill
They′re balancing the budget
But they still can't pay the bill

Hard times
Well, they sure do hit
Hard times
Well, the dollar you got in your pocket
It ain′t worth a dime when you got it
Hard times

Oh, hard times
You're down on your luck
Oh, hard times
You′re down on your luck
Hey, yeah
