The banks are closing daily,

and the recessions coming back again.

A depression like the 20s,

with all the people crying out in pain.

We got tough times ahead of us,

and we just dont know who gets the blame.

Its hard to make a living,

when the jobs are getting few and hard to find.

We could do with a plan to steer us,

to help us leave all this mess behind.

We got tough times ahead now people,

but we all gotta learn to walk that line.

Families losing hopes,

so now they're forced to change their ways.

Struggling hard to get by,

 and try to find any old job that pays.

We got tough times ahead now people,

but we're hanging on for better days.

The whole worlds in bad trouble,

but we're all looking for that rare hope.

Yeah we may be in big trouble,

but in the past we found some way to cope.

Because in tough times we pull together,

i will climb back up that shakey slope.
