Charlie Domokos,Songs,Hard Times

It's a time of exploitation,
Good feelings are degenerating,
You're told to be so grateful
For every scrap and morsel,
You're working on survival - and Love!

It's hard to take,
Hard to shake,
It's Hard Times.

The boss man's on your back,
He's threatening to sack,
The future looks so black,
You might as well tune out,

It's hard to take,
Hard to shake,
It's Hard Times.

So, you're working all day,
Dreaming all night,
Trying to find a way --
A way to hold her tight.
You need her loving,
Her sweet hugging
Every night,
In these Hard Times.

In a time of fear and greed,
The powerless are in need,
The only arms outstretched
Hurl a fist through your chest!
You fall past the fortieth floor.
You try to ignore what's in store,
You don't dare open any beckoning door,

It's Hard Times!

But you still have the need to reach for love.
You touch someone who touches you,
Hold' tight to get you through,
These Hard Times.

And you're dreaming all day,
Wishing all night!
Hoping' that she'll turn your way,

And make your world so right.
you need her loving, her sweet hugging,
Day and night,

In these Hard Times.
