Tough Times AheadThe banks are closing dailyAnd the recessions coming back again A depression like the 20s With all the people crying out in pain We got tough times ahead of us And we just don't know who gets the blame Its hard to make a living When the jobs are getting few and hard to find We could do with a plan to steer us To help us leave all this mess behind We got tough times ahead now people But we all gotta learn to walk that line Families losing hopes So now they're forced to change their ways Struggling hard to get by And try to find any old job that pays We got tough times ahead now people But we're hanging on for better days The whole worlds in bad trouble But we're all looking for that rare hope Yeah, we may be in big trouble But in the past we found some way to cope Because in tough times we pull together I will climb back up that shakey slope |
