Bad times, something's wrong
Money's gone, I'm on my own
Can't stay, there's nothing here
Been a hard, hard year
First month, snows came
Put me in bed, couldn't work the same
Jobs gone, bills are here
Been a hard, hard year
I look on the bad side of life
I lose heart then I want to die
So I've got to get back on my feet
And prove to myself I'm a man
I hope that the bad times are gone
Its been work, but I think that Ive won
Now I'm happy and I'll never be that way again
No, I'll never be that way again
Snow's gone, spring's here
Won't happen twice, seen my way clear
Everyone's paid, got no one to fear
Been a hard, hard year
Been a hard, hard year
