Hard Times

Kill the rich
 Salt the Earth
 But hidden down in the dirt
 I'll be writing you another line
 You went right
 I was blind
 The fire was always dying
 What was bright has become burnt
 These are hard times, hard times
 These are hard times, hard times
 But I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
 When I'm with you
 These are hard times, hard times
 These are hard times, hard times
 But I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
 If I can spend them with you
 There's a flash
 Before the sound
 Before you feel the shaking ground
 Before you see the rising ash
 You protest, they don't even know what they saw
 But the law is the law is the law
 And someone has to call it a crime
 These are hard times, hard times
 These are hard times, hard times
 But I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
 When I'm with you
 These are hard times, hard times
 These are hard times, hard times
 But I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
 If I can spend them with you

 Well, I feel like I could fly
 With the windows open in the night
 Let the rain come in and wash the dream away
 They said that they would build a crystal palace
 I just laughed and laughed and laughed
 Your lovely eyes, et cetera, et cetera
 I just called you here to say
 Kill the rich
 Salt the Earth
 But hidden down in the dirt
 I'll be writing you another line
