Hard Times

Kill the rich
Salt the Earth
But hidden down in the dirt
I'll be writing you another line
You went right
I was blind
The fire was always dying
What was bright has become burnt

These are hard times, hard times
These are hard times, hard times
But I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
When I'm with you
These are hard times, hard times
These are hard times, hard times
But I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
If I can spend them with you

There's a flash
Before the sound
Before you feel the shaking ground
Before you see the rising ash
You protest, they don't even know what they saw
But the law is the law is the law
And someone has to call it a crime

These are hard times, hard times
These are hard times, hard times
But I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
When I'm with you
These are hard times, hard times
These are hard times, hard times
But I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
If I can spend them with you

Well, I feel like I could fly
With the windows open in the night
Let the rain come in and wash the dream away
They said that they would build a crystal palace
I just laughed and laughed and laughed
Your lovely eyes, et cetera, et cetera
I just called you here to say

Kill the rich
Salt the Earth
But hidden down in the dirt
I'll be writing you another line
