Hard Times
I saw a young man take his life today
Left thirty years since the day he came
Born in an age of fallen towers, cowards, and pain
Take a step, right or left, it can all be taken away
Until the boss man calls at the end of the day
Break your back, break even, or fade away
Hard times, O hard times, the bigger the lie
O hard times only depart once they've arrived
Hard times, hard times, the thinner the line
To work day and night in the murk and the grime
Is a farmer in the desert a faith un-divine?
What's left when you're asked to gamble on your life,
Scrambling to find what happiness means in time?
But go on, find your way, your truth, your fight
Otherwise
Break your back, break even, or fade away
Hard times, O hard times, the bigger the lie
O hard times only depart once they've arrived
Hard times, hard times, the thinner the line
Accept with open arms any and all demands
You don't need to think, and you don't need to understand
Why the river forces the horse to drink
Or how a breeze berates a bird to sing
Are we living, are we lying, or for your sins are we dying?
Break your back, break even, or fade away
Hard times, O hard times, the bigger the lie
O hard times only depart once they've arrived
Hard times, hard times, the thinner the line
Left thirty years since the day he came
Born in an age of fallen towers, cowards, and pain
Take a step, right or left, it can all be taken away
Until the boss man calls at the end of the day
Break your back, break even, or fade away
Hard times, O hard times, the bigger the lie
O hard times only depart once they've arrived
Hard times, hard times, the thinner the line
To work day and night in the murk and the grime
Is a farmer in the desert a faith un-divine?
What's left when you're asked to gamble on your life,
Scrambling to find what happiness means in time?
But go on, find your way, your truth, your fight
Otherwise
Break your back, break even, or fade away
Hard times, O hard times, the bigger the lie
O hard times only depart once they've arrived
Hard times, hard times, the thinner the line
Accept with open arms any and all demands
You don't need to think, and you don't need to understand
Why the river forces the horse to drink
Or how a breeze berates a bird to sing
Are we living, are we lying, or for your sins are we dying?
Break your back, break even, or fade away
Hard times, O hard times, the bigger the lie
O hard times only depart once they've arrived
Hard times, hard times, the thinner the line
