(Livin' In) Desperate Times

Never thought it would be so rough\nAnd I wonder if I have enough\nTo keep from breaking down\nNo mercy in this town\nEvery day is just another test\nSeems I’m always second best\nBut you learn along the way\nThat’s the price you have to pay\nI try to stay defiant\nBe tough and self-reliant\nThough I get tired to the bone\nLove is just a wish you keep inside\nHow’s it gonna help me to survive?\nLooks like I’m in this fight alone\nAnd I’m livin' in desperate times\nBeing alive’s my only crime\nDon’t care what I have to do\nI’ll find some way to make it through\nOh, and I’m livin' in desperate times\nAnd it’s too late to change my mind\nTill these desperate times are done, gonna run\nWatch me run\nInnocents get taken in By the promise of an easy win\nYou start out so naive\nSo eager to believe\nBut the glitter of the city lights\nOnly covers up a lonely night\nOf strangers slamming doors\nYou’re hungry and ignored\nI’ve faced the competition\nI’ve made the hard decisions\nWill it be worth it in the end?\nTaking any chance that comes along\nGetting hard to tell what’s right or wrong\nI only wish I had a friend\nAnd I’m livin' in desperate times\nBeing alive’s my only crime\nDon’t care what I have to do\nI’ll find some way to make it through\nOh, and I’m livin' in desperate times\nAnd it’s too late to change my mind\nTill these desperate times are done, gonna run\nWatch me run\nAnd I’m livin' in desperate times\nBeing alive’s my only crime\nDon’t care what I have to do\nI’ll find some way to make it through\nOh, and I’m livin' in desperate times\nAnd it’s too late to change my mind\nTill these desperate times are done, gonna run\nWatch me run\nAnd I’m livin' in desperate times\nBeing alive’s my only crime\nDon’t care what I have to do\nI’ll find some way to make it through\nOh, and I’m livin' in desperate times\nAnd it’s too late to change my mind\nTill these desperate times are done, gonna run\nWatch me run
