Life Is so Very Hard These Days
I think life is tough these days
people get by in their own way
some turn to drink or drugs
while others like to kneel and pray.
The depressed young housewife
cries silently into her kitchen sink
as her husband looks for a job
she worries what her neighbours think.
Young people are scared of the future
as pensioners turn down their heat
families are struggling to pay the bills
and finding it hard to make ends meet.
But greedy politicians and city bankers
laugh and say stop making such a fuss
while their lining their big deep pockets
we're walking everywhere or getting a bus.
As more and more sign on the dole
the burglars are still breaking in
they say they rob to feed their addiction
they don't see it as wrong or a sin.
So I've finally come to the conclusion
this world belongs to the super rich
while they live in opulence and splendour
the rest of us are saying life's just a bitch!
