Bad Times Lyrics

[Dan Wexler, Jerry Harrison]

Hey little girl so you ripped your dress today
And you don't know what your mama's going to say
You've got catechism after school you'll live by every golden rule
Everybody's got their dues to pay

And the preacher ain't been doing what he's preaching
Little girl says "Hey you watch where you've been reaching"

Living in Bad Times
Things were better yesterday
Living in Bad Times
Got to find a better way
And I think it's time that we all made that change--Oh Yeah

Blind man sitting on the corner day and night
Put a dime in his cup it will make you feel alright
He's got stories 'bout them good ole days
Same ole story different way
Least he knows what makes him see the light

And the homeless try to upgrade their position
And the money goes to the cheating politician

Living in Bad Times
Things were better yesterday
Living in Bad Times
Got to find a better way
And I think it's time that we all made that change--Oh Yeah

(Guitar Solo)

Living in Bad Times
Living in Bad Times
Live, Live, Living in Bad Times

Living in Bad Times
Things were better yesterday
Living in Bad Times
Got to find a better way
And I think it's time that we all made that change--Oh Yeah
