hard times

from days & days by Michael Gerard

lyrics

some people ain't good for nothing
other people good for too damn much
it's all the way the cards get shuffled
and whether or not you've got the touch

i got a kitten sittin' pretty back at home
beggin' like a dog for an old hambone
all i got here's this ball of yarn
and even that is almost gone

your girls gonna' leave you
just as soon as she can stand
you're darned if she don't
and if she do you'll be damned
i saw two old ladies sittin' in the sand
each one wishing that the other was a man

even the undertaker's singin' this sad old song
i just had to ask him what was wrong
he stuck his shovel in the ground and
said "look here son,
people these days just living too long"

well it's hard times dead or alive
you better believe it's true
