Hard times are here and everywhere you go
Times are harder than ever been before
Ohh ohhh ahhh
Ohh ohhh ahhh

People are driftin' from door to door
Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they go
Ohh ohhh ahhh
Ohh ohhh ahhh

You say you got our money well you better be sure
These hard times will kill you dead and there ain't no cure
If I can get up off of this hard time killin' floor
Lord, I'll never get down that low no more
Ohh ohhh ahhh
Ohh ohhh ahhh
Ohh ohhh ahhh
Ohh ohhh ahhh

Hard times are here and everywhere you go
Times are harder than ever been before
These hard times will drive you from door to door
Sing this song, I ain't gonna sing no more
Sing this song, I ain't gonna sing no more
Sing this song, I ain't gonna sing no more
