The Boomtown Rats

Hard Times

Ahh, hard times

Hard times

And these are hard times

Ooh, getting better

Hard times

Ooh, ooh! Ooh!

I straighten out

And shake out that drag

You touch and go

But I'm catching you

Spare a dime

I nicked 1000p

It's taste is sweet

On bike

Now Billy grab the goods

You stash that cash

And you pedal away

The only act of revolution left

In this collective world

So, look, don't talk

Baby don't turn away

You look alright

And I feel O.K

If things are like this

Then maybe we'll stay

Turn away

Turn away

Turn away, yeah, yeah

Well I'm dressed in blue

Oh, she stops the street

The day rolls up

And all the bulls see red

Like that pole

And taste the ground below

It's taste is sweet

Brush your tooth

And wipe the night away

It's taste is sour, the dreams of fright

But I swear

Oh I swear right now

Ain't it bittersweet

(I think that I believe)

Yeah, look, don't talk

Don't turn away

You look alright

And I feel O.K

If things are like this

Then maybe we'll stay

Turn away

Don't turn away

Turn away, yeah, yeah

These are hard times

Ooh, getting better

Hard times

Ooh, we're getting better

Hard times

Ooh, getting better

Hard times

Ooh, we're getting better now

(Oooh!)

Oh, I've been lying

In the long grass too long

Pushing back, the psychic waste

Hit that switch

And knock the daylights out

Taste is sweet

Oh walk away

Walking through that door

It's open wide

All other options closed

Let me say

Oh let me say right here

I'll dig my ditch

And keep my head down through these

Hard times

Ooh, getting better

Hard times

Ooh, we're getting better

Hard times

Ooh, we're getting better

Hard times

Ooh, they're getting better

Now

Hard times (times, times, times….)
