Hard Luck Story
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Workin' man, workin' 9 to 5
Can't call in sick or his family won't survive
And though they pray there's bills still to pay
Workin' man, there's got to be another way
Everybody's got the same old hard luck story
It's just a hard luck, hard luck story
The times we live in are confusin' as hell
Oil companies say there's nothin' left in the well
They take our money and live high on the hog
Help us mr. President or ain't that your job
It's just another hard luck, hard luck story
It's just another hard luck, hard luck story
Wake up in the morning, you can taste the air
Harrisburg, pennsylvania, lord, it just ain't fair
They tell us this and they tell us that
But, it all melts down to the same old fact
It's just another in a long line
Of hard luck stories
It's a hard luck, hard luck story
It's a hard luck, hard luck story
