There's Nothin' Soft About Hard Times |
Every day held a new surprise |
I watched the hunger burning in my sister’s eyes |
The paste-board shack we called home |
Would haunt me in my dreams |
'Cause there’s nothing soft about hard times |
We never knew anything groovy |
A dime meant bread and not a movie |
The muscles that controlled my smile were rarely ever used |
'Cause there’s nothing soft about hard times |
Had to go 'cause I could see I wasn’t meant for poverty |
The family ties were broken soon and I went off to find the moon |
So I sit on a bench in Jackson Square |
I drink my wine and I breathe the midnight air |
Tomorrow I’ll just hit the street and bum another dime |
'Cause there’s nothing soft about hard times |
Had to go 'cause I could see I wasn’t meant for poverty |
The family ties were broken soon and I went off to find the moon |
So I sit on a bench in Jackson Square |
I drink my wine and I breathe the midnight air |
Tomorrow I’ll just hit the street and bum another dime |
'Cause there’s nothing soft about hard times |
