She has three kids and the bills to pay
Husband left -just the other day
Hard times – out here on Main Street
He's black, he's young and he's got no hope
Surrounded by slums and all that dope
Hard times – out here on Main Street
We're the silent, we're the working poor
Breakin our backs right down to the core
Hard times – out here on Main Street
Struggled hard just to get ahead
Quotas came and you lose again
Hard times, out here on Main Street
We pick our leaders by the way they look
and most of our kids
can't read a book
We're out here all alone
won't anybody help us ..
Broken dreams and shattered lives
blazing guns and deadly knives
Hard times – out here on Main Street
We send our money
all over the place
let's keep some here
It's a damn disgrace
Hard times – out here on Main Street
We're living high on our credit cards
don't own nothing
not even our cards
Hard times – here on Main Street
We pick our leaders by the way they look
and most of our kids can't read a book
Won't anybody help us now
We're all alone
Broken dreams and shattered lives
blazing guns and deadly knives
Hard times – here on Main Street
We pick our leaders by the way they look
and most of our kids can't read a book
Won't anybody help us now
We're all alone …
