Tough Times Ahead

(Album: Tough - 2009)

The banks are closing daily
And 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
