Hard times, hard times.



My boss thinks that I'm his tool and I guess that he is right

Uses me like this shovel in my hand

But if the shovel wasn't strong it wouldn't hold a load of dirt

I guess that why I'm important to that man.



Hard times, hard times knockin'

Knockin', knockin' on my door

Hard times, hard times but I don't care

Very much anymore

Hard times.



I think I'd give anything if I didn't have to work

I get so tired I just can't take a breath

But I'm smart enough to know that I'm not so very smart

If I don't work I guess I'd drink myself to death.



Hard times, hard times knockin'

Knockin', knockin' on my door

Hard times, hard times but I don't care

Very much anymore

Hard times.



Hard times hard times knockin'

Knockin', knockin' on my door

Hard times, hard times but I don't care

Very much anymore

Hard times.



Hard times, hard times...
