Times Like These

Intro: Verse: 1 In times like these everyone could use a hand Instead we stand around losing ground Fighting for the promised land It's so hard to tell if this is heaven or hell And I could never measure by degrees But it's sure gettin' warm 'round here in times like these Verse: 2 In times like these do I really need a billionaire Just takin' all my time tryin' to tell me I was treated unfair? Well then I got to pay as the home of the brave gets divided into them the we Oh I find I'm a-losing my mind in times like these Yeah they come and they go They're in and then not Every day I'm getting better at losing something I haven't got I just wanna do my labor, love my girl, and help my neighbor While I keep a little hope for my dreams But it's sure getting hard, brother, in times like these Solo Verse: 3 In times like these I wish someone was on my side Instead of bringing it together we're just widening the great divide I hope and I pray at the end of the day I can somehow get my troubles to ease But I gotta say, it's not looking good, not in times like these Yeah they come and they go They're cold then they're hot I just try to keep the world from turning me to something I'm not I'm gonna try to run until the whole thing's done And I just hope I don't end up on my knees But it's sure getting hard to stand up in times like these Outro I just wanna do my labor, love my girl, and help my neighbor While I'm keeping all my joie de vivre But it's sure getting hard, brother, in times like these I could use just a little bit of help in times like these
