Live scene crack on the corner A man stands proud as he peddles his wares Expedient over confident because he knows he holds your pride In his hand demands that's how he makes his proud stance because he Knows that you're gonna come back as effects die well so do your insides Just like hope and pride it all dies Outside the hard times man, Outside the hard times man Here he comes a dead man walking He's ready to kill for the answer to his problems He's got to need that, he's gotta to feed He's drawing the solution enters another problem As the bullets fly I can't believe my eyes I see the faces filled with terror Fleeing for their lives cause a effects die well so do your insides Just like hope and pride it all dies Outside the hard times man People die And it all comes back to me the pain and suffering Well you played yourself now it's hard times man Well it all comes back to me Sweat drips out from the need Well you played yourself now it's hard times man How much can I take When I surrender my feelings I suffer now In hard times hard times How much can I take When I surrender my feelings I suffer now in Hard times In hard fuckin' times
