better times Songtext / Lyric

Better Times

Clouds are gathering so high together
Looks like we're gonna be in for bad weather
Folks are gathering in the symbolyc square
Oh my, gonna be some trouble there-
Better times, better times
Ther's gotta be some better times than this.

Babies crying 'cause they've got no shoes
Thirty year old men, would you know they're
dyin' of the blues
The streets are crowded 'cause there's
no place to go
Hunger's lasting, but everybody knows
Better times, better times
There's gotta be some better times than this.

Feel the fat keep you warm
About an inch thick down your spine
Somebody moans, sitting in a fire
While your friends say everything is alright
Better times, better times
There's gotta be some better times than this.
