Times Are Hard

(album: Irons In The Fire - 2013)

Sooner or later life will pull you in
Make you choose to rather sink or swim
Some where down the line it's gonna' break your heart
Put you out and make you wear the scars.

All these dreams come with all this doubts
When we can't fit in we try to find a way out
Learn to fight so they don't seal our faith
They say you never see it coming till it's way too late.

These times are hard
It feels like nothings' gonna change
No where to start and you got nothing for the pain
'Cause when life moves fast it don't matter who you are
You gotta find someone to hold on to
Damn! These times are hard.

We build those bridges and we watch them burn
So quick to pull the trigger, so slow to take our turn
We've all been locked out, we've broken down the door
Some of us hit the dirt, some of us do come back for more
When the thirst get so bad you're just dying to get a taste
When it don't envolve religion, when it don't envolve the race
And theres' everything to lose 'cause we were never born to win
Willing to sacrifice everything we had just to roll the dice again

These times are hard
It feels like nothings' gonna change
No where to start and you got nothing for the pain
'Cause when life moves fast it don't matter who you are
You gotta find someone to hold on to
Damn! These times are hard.

Hey!

Life isn't perfect so it's just what you make it
And that's what they tell you
But it's hard when they're holding you down
Somebody out there for you
The pain it all gets easy someone you hold on to.

These times are hard
It feels like nothings' gonna change
No where to start and you got nothing for the pain
'Cause when life moves fast it don't matter who you are
You gotta find someone to hold on to.
Damn! These times are hard.

Yeah! Yeah!
These times are hard
Ohhhhhhhh!!!!

'Cause when life moves fast it don't matter who you are
You gotta find someone to hold on to.
Damn! Damn!
These times are hard.
