                        Hard Times Lyrics
            Lyrics from YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEB6ibtdPZc)
(Verse 1)
All that I want
Is to wake up fine 
Tell me that I’m alright
That I Ain’t gonna die
All that I want
Is a hole in the ground
You can tell me when it’s alright 
For me to come out

(Chorus 1)
HARD TIMES
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
HARD TIMES 
Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
THESE LIVES 
And I still don't know how I even survive
HARD TIMES 
HARD TIMES
and i gotta get to rock bottom
(Verse 2)
Walking around
With my little raincloud
Hanging over my head
And it ain’t coming down
Where do I go?
Gimme some sort of sign
Hit me with lightning!
Maybe I’ll come alive

(Chorus 2)
HARD TIMES
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
HARD TIMES 
Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
THESE LIVES 
And I still don't know how I even survive
HARD TIMES 
HARD TIMES
and i gotta get to rock bottom

(Bridge)
Tell my friends I’m coming down 
We'll kick it when I hit the ground
Tell my friends I’m coming down 
We'll kick it when I hit the ground
when I hit the ground, when I hit the ground
when I hit the ground, when I hit the ground

(Chorus 3) x2
HARD TIMES
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
HARD TIMES 
Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
THESE LIVES 
And I still don't know how I even survive
HARD TIMES 
HARD TIMES

and i gotta get to rock bottom
