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
