Hard Times - Wishbone Ash

Well, you know the boss was a good man

But kindness on it’s own don’t pay

«you can figure you’re part of the cut-back»

Was all that he could say

Hard times

Well, they sure do hit

Hard times

Well, the dollar you got in your pocket

Ain’t worth a dime when you got it —

Hard times

It’s a messy situation

Keeping the wolf from the door

How can I stay solvent

When they’re hounding me for more?

Hard times

Well, they sure do hit

Hard times

Well, the dollar you got in your pocket

Ain’t worth a dime when you got it —

Hard times

Well, the government’s got advisors

And they’re sitting on capitol hill

They’re balancing the budget

But they still can’t pay the bill

Hard times

Well, they sure do hit

Hard times

Well, the dollar you got in your pocket

Ain’t worth a dime when you got it —

Hard times

Oh, hard times

You’re down on your luck
