Old folks say they ain't seen nothing like it
|
Since the great depression back in '29
|
Men and women trying to scratch out a living
|
Standing shoulder to shoulder in the welfare line
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Hard times ain't got no prejudice,
|
It don't see black or white
|
Healthy and strong
|
Willing and able
|
We're just holding on in hard times
|
|
White haired preacher standing' in the pulpit,
|
Just a waiving his bible preachin' end of days
|
Death and destruction waging across the planet
|
Better pray to your maker that your soul is saved
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
New born baby clinging to his mama,
|
He came into this world just like you and me
|
Might be a doctor or a teacher or popper
|
Only fate can determine how it's supposed to be
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
