HARD TIMES
©Trev Teasdel Coventry October 1970


Hard times
You say you’ve got hard times.
Do you know what hard times are?
Do you know what hard times are?
Do you really know what hard times are?


Oh sure times are rough
Life is hard
You try to tell me you’ve had enough
But if you can;t cope then that’s tough.
Hard times
What are you doing about them?
Sit on your arse and moan.
Go out and make your life worthwhile
Don;t give in after only one mile.
Ah hard times
You wallow in apathy
Only yourself to blame.
You haven’t tried
Instead you have cried.
Don;t squander your energies.
Go out and climb those trees.


Ah hard times
They’re not my scene
My grass is green
from ploughing my fields all day.
Take what you’ve got and start sowing your seeds.
Discover the wealth within you
A golcondo that you never knew of,
Ah hard times
Too many people give in.
Hard times
I don’t believe in hard times.
