Hard Times in the Land of Plenty Songtext

von Omar & The Howlers

Some people have, some people have not;
Some got a little, and some got a lot.
Poor people cryin' 'cause they ain't got a dime,
They're left standin' in a welfare line...

Hard times in the land of plenty;
Some got it all and the rest... ...Ain't got any.

The taxman says you gotta pay mo' money;
Ah when you're already broke, you know that just ain't funny.
You gotta rob Peter - pay back Paul;
Used ta stand up straight, but now you got to crawl.

Hard times in the land of plenty... (etc.)

-INTERLUDE and SOLO-

Nobody knows you when your money's gone;
Your future looks dark when your credit's blown.
You got to hustle to stay alive;
You got to be on top if you wanna survive.

Hard times in the land of plenty;
Some got it all, and the rest...
Hard times in the land of plenty;
Some got it all, and the rest... (extended "D")
...Ain't got any.

Hard times in the land of plenty. -INTERLUDE- and out (full stop)
