[Verse 1: David Byrne]
All that I want
Is to wake up fine
Tell me that I’m alright
That I ain’t gonna die
All that I want
Is a hole in the ground
You can tell me when it’s alright
For me to come out
[Chorus: David Byrne]
Hard times
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
Hard times
Gonna take you down and laugh and when you cry
These lives
And I still don’t know how I even survive
Hard times, hard times
[Verse 2: David Byrne]
Walking around
With my little rain cloud
Hangin’ over my head
And it ain’t coming down
Where do I go?
Give me some kind of sign
You hit me with lightning
Maybe I’ll come alive
[Chorus: David Byrne]
Hard times
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
Hard times
Gonna take you down and laugh and when you cry
These lives
And I still don’t know how I even survive
Hard times, hard times
Ow!
[Bridge: David Byrne]
Tell my friends I’m coming down
We’ll kick it when I hit the ground
Tell my friends I’m coming down
We’ll kick it when I hit the ground
When I hit the ground
When I hit the ground
When I hit the ground
When I hit the ground
[Chorus: David Byrne]
Hard times
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
Hard times
Gonna take you down and laugh and when you cry
These lives
And I still don’t know how I even survive
Hard times , hard times
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: David Byrne]
Hard times
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
Hard times
Gonna take you down and laugh and when you cry
These lives
And I still don’t know how I even survive
Hard times, hard times
