All across the world now 
People fight to be heard 
Cryin' for attention, darling 
They all want the last last word 
Lord, what is the answer 
To everybody's prayer 
When reason wages war against compassion and despair 
 
(chorus) 
Hard times sure worry me 
Ain't givin' up, no no no, not me 
It ain't just money 
That makes it hard times 
 
We gotta have some love... 
 
We are all so fragile 
Everybody's flesh and blood 
We're all just children 
Broken wings and so much love 
Can't you see what we've got 
Can't you see we've got a lot 
Can't you see the love i loan ya 
You can keep it for ever and ever 
 
(repeat chorus 2x) 
 
Well, to one man, he's a sinner 
To the other, he's seen the light 
To one man, he's a sinnin' man 
To the other he's gone and seen the light 
 
I'm warning you, i'm warning you, yeah 
We've gotta have some solution 
Gotta have some real reaction 
I'm warning you, i'm calling you all over here 
I wanna say something to you 
I'm warning you about hard times 
 
(repeat chorus 2x) 
 
It ain't just lack of money 
That makes these times so hard, no no no no 
Hard times, hard times, are times without love 
Hard times, let's make'em good times 
Let's make'em real good times 
Good good times 
Good time.
