Hard Times

We are living in hard times

All I see is trouble, coming down the line

I see it in the hurricane that blows too strong

I see when the winter rain, never comes

We are living in hard times

All I see is trouble, coming down the line

I heard it in soldier's cry, as he lay dying

I saw it in the farmer's eyes, the day that he quit trying

We are living in hard times

What breaks my heart is knowing,

This ain't how it has to be

There's room enough at the table

For everyone to eat

The rich man he takes most of it

The poor man he takes less

We are living in hard times

All I see is trouble coming down the line

Rich man's getting richer, poor man he just slides

We are living in hard times.
