Hard Times lyrics

Song information

Artist: Wishbone Ash
Album: Strange Affair

Lyrics

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
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
Ain't worth a dime when you got it -
Hard times

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
Ain't worth a dime when you got it -
Hard times

Oh, hard times
You're down on your luck
