If the weather's as bad as the weatherman says We're in for a real mean storm If the weather's as bad as the weatherman says We're in for a real mean storm If the times are as hard as folks are saying they are Some folks have it real, real hard Can't even get a break, forget about getting ahead You bet they never get too far If the people upstairs acted like they even cared I'd crack a real wide smile But I'd have to guess, to witness something like this You'd have to wait a real long while If life is as tough as the last couple months We're in for a real rough year If life is as tough as the last couple months We're in for a real rough year If the future's as bleak as I hear on the street We're looking at a real long haul The people I speak to take drugs when they need to Stop thinking about it all Me? I've taken a few so I could stop thinking too Who hasn't used a drug?
