As seen through my eyes, it's tougher all over

You can read it in the news of the world

Been shot down in flames by a face with no name

The image of truth is unheard of

It's hard to take it

So will you make it

You start to wonder

And now you're goin' through

Hard Times

You're goin' through Hard

Times no one can deny

You're goin' through

Hard Times

Look around you it's

Hard Times

So now you learn from the concrete and pavement

It's hard to see through city lies

Ironic it seems all the sweet talk and dreams

Have turned to the things you despise.

It's hard to take it

So will you make it

You start to wonder

And now you're goin' through

Hard Times

You're goin' through Hard

Times no one can deny

You're goin' through

Hard Times

Look around you it's

Hard Times

It's hard to take it

So will you make it

You start to wonder

And now you're goin' through

Hard Times

You're goin' through Hard

Times no one can deny

You're goin' through

Hard Times

Look around you it's

Hard Times
