A man stands proud as he peddles his wares
Expedient over confident because he knows he holds your pride
In his hand demands that's how he makes his proud stance because he
Knows that you're gonna come back as effects die well so do your insides
Just like hope and pride it all dies
Outside the hard times man,
Outside the hard times man

Here he comes a dead man walking
He's ready to kill for the answer to his problems
He's got to need that, he's gotta to feed
He's drawing the solution enters another problem
As the bullets fly I can't believe my eyes
I see the faces filled with terror
Fleeing for their lives cause a effects die well so do your insides
Just like hope and pride it all dies
Outside the hard times man

People die
And it all comes back to me the pain and suffering
Well you played yourself now it's hard times man
Well it all comes back to me
Sweat drips out from the need
Well you played yourself now it's hard times man
How much can I take
When I surrender my feelings I suffer now
In hard times hard times
How much can I take
When I surrender my feelings I suffer now in
Hard times
In hard fuckin times
