Story behind the song
Life is fragile...being down on your luck is hard...and we are all closer to experiencing Desperate Times than we all realize...that person with a sign asking for help...could easily be you someday.
Lyrics
"Our Economy is like a House of Cards, Our Government is a bit Optimistic regarding just how good it really is...the Wind is Gonna Blow...Hard" The Situation looks Grim The Lightbulb is very Dim But Somehow I go on The Prosperous Times are Gone The Future looks very Bleak I'm Cold and Tired and I'm Weak Seems like all I can do is Pray Life is a Struggle every Day I look up into the Sky and ask God in Heaven "Why?" Why has everything gone so bad? I've lost everything I've had Desperate Times...When no body has a Dime Desperate Times...Living in Poverty and Crime Life was good in Better Times but now I've Fallen...I've Fallen on Desperate Times A severe Depression has set in I played the game and I couldn't Win Doing everything that I was told but sometimes Life can be very Cold The Company couldn't stay a Float They threw me out of a Sinking Boat Swallowed up by a Turbulent Sea a Victim of a Bad Economy I looked up into the Sky and ask God in Heaven "Why?" Why has everything gone so bad? I've lost everything I've had Desperate Times...When no body has a Dime Desperate Times...Living in Poverty and Crime Life was good in Better Times but now I've Fallen...I've Fallen on Desperate Times Hope is Lost...in this Desperate Part of Town Desperate Times...is Beating everybody Down Living in Pain and constant Torment It SUCKS when you can't find Employment There's no such thing as "Job Security" It can happen to You...just like it happened to Me Someone I used to Work with has a Box right next to mine Sometines we'll sit...and share a Bottle of Second Hand Wine Desperate Times
