Tough Times (feat. Mikey Mason)
I got a job all lined up
And I hope it ain't too bad
But times are tough, can't afford to pick and choose
Boss man is all fired up, and it raises my alarm
If I don't look too close, won't see no harm
These are tough times, and it feels just like a crime
If I put my conscience aside to live on the edge
These are tough times, if I hope to survive
I'll use my conscience as my guide
I must do what is right
Racing on a train
No longer society's drain
I'm pullin' a job right under the Alliance nose
I'm feeling rather smug
When chance pulls out the rug
I meet the workers I'm dragging through the coals
These are tough times, and it feels just like a crime
If I put my conscience aside to live on the edge
These are tough times, if I hope to survive
I'll use my conscience as my guide
I must do what is right
Pain is in their eyes
I can't help but empathize
We stole their meds, now their suffering is in store
This gangster overstepped
Yet despite his unlovely rep
I return the meds and I knock him through the door
These are tough times, and it feels just like a crime
If I put my conscience aside to live on the edge
These are tough times, if I hope to survive
I'll use my conscience as my guide
I must do what is right
The job it has gone south
I'm back living hand to mouth
But I feel a little prouder than before
Desperation made me
Look the other way
I realize now I must make a better choice
These are tough times, and it feels just like a crime
If I put my conscience aside to live on the edge
These are tough times, if I hope to survive
I'll use my conscience as my guide
I must do what is right
These are tough times, and it feels just like a crime
If I put my conscience aside to live on the edge
These are tough times, if I hope to survive
I'll use my conscience as my guide
I must do what is right
I'll use my conscience as my guide
I must do what is right
And I hope it ain't too bad
But times are tough, can't afford to pick and choose
Boss man is all fired up, and it raises my alarm
If I don't look too close, won't see no harm
These are tough times, and it feels just like a crime
If I put my conscience aside to live on the edge
These are tough times, if I hope to survive
I'll use my conscience as my guide
I must do what is right
Racing on a train
No longer society's drain
I'm pullin' a job right under the Alliance nose
I'm feeling rather smug
When chance pulls out the rug
I meet the workers I'm dragging through the coals
These are tough times, and it feels just like a crime
If I put my conscience aside to live on the edge
These are tough times, if I hope to survive
I'll use my conscience as my guide
I must do what is right
Pain is in their eyes
I can't help but empathize
We stole their meds, now their suffering is in store
This gangster overstepped
Yet despite his unlovely rep
I return the meds and I knock him through the door
These are tough times, and it feels just like a crime
If I put my conscience aside to live on the edge
These are tough times, if I hope to survive
I'll use my conscience as my guide
I must do what is right
The job it has gone south

But I feel a little prouder than before

These are tough times, and it feels just like a crime
If I put my conscience aside to live on the edge
These are tough times, if I hope to survive
I'll use my conscience as my guide
I must do what is right
These are tough times, and it feels just like a crime
If I put my conscience aside to live on the edge
These are tough times, if I hope to survive
I'll use my conscience as my guide
I must do what is right
I'll use my conscience as my guide
I must do what is right
