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 |
