Welcome to Hard Times

Life's a casino, I'm tellin' you

And everybody's playin', boys and girls

Women, children, me, and you

The dice are loaded and everything's fixed

Even a hobo would tell you this

Welcome to hard times and feelin' low

Do you like sinnin'? No?

Well, you will before you go

We've got lots of gamblin'

Oh, and we're tellin' lies

You're certainly welcome to hard times

Take a look in my eyes

Tell me what you see

Besides the bright blinking lights

Stretched out in front of me

I wonder if you'll notice

Would you even care

If I told you my life just isn't fair?

Welcome to hard times and feelin' low

Do you like sinnin'? No?

Well, you will before you go

We've got lots of gamblin'

Oh, and we're tellin' lies

You're certainly welcome to hard times

Yes, hope you're feelin' welcome to hard times
