David Byrne Does Hard Times
[Verse 1]
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]
(Hard times)
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
(Hard times)
Gonna take you down and laughing when you cry
(These lives)
And I still don't know how I even survive
(Hard times, hard times)

[Verse 2]
Walking around
With my little rain cloud
Hanging 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]
(Hard times)
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
(Hard times)
Gonna take you down and laughing when you cry
(These lives)
And I still don't know how I even survive
(Hard times, hard times)

[Bridge]
Oh
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]
(Hard times)
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
(Hard times)
Gonna take you down and laughing when you cry
(These lives)
And I still don't know how I even survive
(Hard times) Hard times
[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]
(Hard times)
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
(Hard times)
Gonna take you down and laughing when you cry
(These lives)
And I still don't know how I even survive
(Hard times) Hard times
