It's a hard time situation
Hard time situation
It's a hard time situation
One more time . . . hard time situation
Can't take it no more

I tell no lie, no lie, I tell no lie
I tell no lie, no lie, can't tell no lie

Hard time situation

Let me tell you one more time
It's a hard time situation

I don't know what to do now
Too much trouble for me coming down
[??? Toots ???]
Searching, but too hard to find, hard to find
Let me tell you, hard time situation

It's not impossible
For us to work a miracle, oh no, oh no
It's not incredible
For us to work a miracle, in this, in this, in this, in this, in this
Hard time situation
Written from creation
Spread over the nation
The hard time situation, no, no, hey, hey

I tell no lie, no lie, I tell no lie
I tell no lie, no lie, can't tell no lie
Hard time situation

Written from creation
Spread over the nation
Hard time situation
