Lyrics
WE’RE LIVIN IN HARD TIMES TODAY
THAT’S REALLY NOTHIN NEW
STRUGGLIN HARD AND BARELY GETTIN BY
HAPPENED ALL THOSE YEARS AGO TOO
SO WHEN YOUR LIFE KNOCKS YOU AROUND
AND YOU THINK THAT THE DYE’S BEEN CAST
JUST ROLL OVER AND STAY DOWN
OR LEARN THE LESSONS FROM THE PAST
THOSE TIMES WHEN I GET TO FEELIN
LIKE I’M AT THE VERY END OF MY ROPE
I JUST DON’T LET IT GET ME DOWN
I PITCH MY TENT IN THE LAND OF HOPE
OTHER TIMES WHEN I’M OUTTA SORTS
AND IT SEEMS REALLY HARD TO COPE
I JUST DON’T LET IT GET ME DOWN
I PITCH MY TENT IN THE LAND OF HOPE
TO ME THESE DAYS RESEMBLE
SOME PUT TOGETHER PATCHWORK QUILT
BUT I’M NOT ABOUT TO JUST GIVE UP
THAT’S JUST NOT THE WAY I’M BUILT
SEEMS TO ME WE ALL HAVE CHOICES
YOU CAN GIVE UP OR YOU CAN GIVE IN
OR SAY THE FUTURE DOESN’T HAVE TO
MIRROR EVERYTHING THAT’S BEEN
