Hard Times - The Animals

Baby, it’s the hard times that are putting you down

To the pavement, to the solid ground

It’s gonna be the hard times

That’ll leave you when things are cheap again

Baby, it’s the hard times, don’t you know

That has taken the shine off your golden look

It’s gonna be the hard times that’ll leave you when

You come back to me again

Hard times, you’re running scared on the streers

Hard times, with all beggars and the priests

Hard times, with the welfare checking here on time

Telling everybody everything’s just fine

Hard times, hard times

Baby, it’s the hard times, and the taste is here

From champagne, going to sipping on beer

Baby, it’s the hard times that’s eating on your soul

It’s about time you know

Hard times, they’ve raised the price of smoke and drink

Hard times, gonna make make me stop and think

Hard times, will it ever be the same

All this talk of a chance of work is just a crazy game

Hard times, they’re gonna force you to the wall

Hard times, 'til there’s nothing left at all

Hard times, this walking wreck ain’t worth a dime

Got your head hanging down in there with the line

Hard times, it seems the whole world has quit

Hard times, you’ve got no future, got no past

Hard times, just how long can it last

You wake up one day and find out it’s gone in a flash

Hard times!
