I'm tired of your talkin'
Spillin' lies upon my floor
And the ground that you're walkin'
Don't shake for me no more
The world is so cold
We're tryin' to get by somehow
It's a cruel old world
We get through anyhow
'Cause I've been lost, 'cause I've been pushed
Pulled and turned around
I've been crossed, I've been forced
Torn and broken down
Livin' ain't easy
Hard times
Hard times
Hard Times
You better believe it
I'll be stronger
In hard times
Hard times (yeah)
I was born a poor child, yeah
I was raised by the zoo
My momma ain't caught no breaks
And I, I can't get none too
The world is so cold
Trying to get through somehow
This cruel old world
But I'll get through anyhow
'Cause I've been lost, 'cause I've been pushed
Pulled and turned around
I've been crossed, I've been forced
Torn and broken down
Livin' ain't easy
Hard times
Hard times
Hard times
You better believe it
I'll be stronger
In hard times
Hard times
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Someday, someway, somehow, baby
We'll make it through
Livin' ain't easy
Hard times
Hard times
Hard times
You better believe it
I'll be stronger
In hard times
Hard times
