Hard Times
Tell me the company's closing
that's what they say
there's been some money explosion
but not in my pay
words from the running man
speaks of a promised land
seem they don't understand
difference between their God and Man
When they tell you the things they believe in
take a look at the company their keeping
they'll take you to the hard times
take you to the hard times
Tell me they traded my future
for a better yesterday
their service keeps me a pauper
to stay in my place
'til I wake to the freedoms I'm losing
feel the vice of the future i'm choosing
take a breath as you rise from your seat
join the mob forming down in the street
grab your torch to help light the way
all the monsters are on parade
take you to the hard times
they'll take you to the hard times
