lyrics

Hardtimes

Man ask you for dime
all he really wants is some time in connection
Remind him he’s still human in his flesh
Cause that’s all he got left
You say no
When you notice he owns a shopping cart and a radio
How much further down does he have to go

Chorus
In these hard times
In these hard times

Little girl comes up to you
Telling what she will do
For a small fee she’ll be your company
You start to feel a little alarmed
Reminds you of propaganda from Vietnam
Thr neighborhood use to be so safe
Now its in your face

Chorus
Bridge
But in simpler times
We marched and believed in dreams
Fell for so many things falling apart at the seams
But in simpler times
All we wanted to be was middle class
Things got a little difficult
Bombed churches and broken glass
And dead little black babys

Man comes up to you and says
“Hey you wanna make some quick money”
And you say “brother that’s the magic word”
Student falls prey to reality
Lives patch the cracks in this concrete society
Fast money was the last word he heard

chorus
