lyrics

I heard the news today
They’re taking all the books away
Shakespeare and Hemmingway
They’re all dead anyway.
I heard the news today
They’re stopping all the trains.
Indefinite delays
So I’ll stay in my place.

And it’s hard, hard, hard, hard times
But we will be just fine
If we duck and cover

I can’t believe what I read
There’s cameras in the streets
Don’t do what you don’t want seen
That’s fine, I keep my hands clean
I can’t believe what I read
There’s soldiers in the streets
“Sir, will you come with me?“
But, I’m not hiding anything

And it’s hard, hard, hard, hard times
But we will be just fine
If we duck and cover

I keep on seeing guns in toystores on the shelves
Kids, get your parents one so they can defend themselves
For the enemy cometh and the enemy is strong
They even live among us, so trust no-one.

Hush now, don’t talk so loud
I’ve learned to shut my mouth
They’ve got it figured out
And it’s so much simpler now.
Hush now, keep your voice down
They’ll rip your tongue right out
I know you have your doubts
But it’s so much safer now.

And it’s hard, hard, hard, hard times
But we will be just fine
If we duck and cover.
