Hard Times
AC Ϟ DC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going down slow
Make you quake
Make a body shake
Trying to hold you down
They can't push you around
They try to hold you back
Getting on the right track
Hard times
Blue and sad
Don't you cross the line
Run, run make it fun
Freeing up the time
Hidey plumping
Feet are jumping
This heart a loving
Keeps me running
They try to hold you down
But they can't push you around
Trying to hold you back
Getting on the right track
Hard times
Blue and sad
Don't you cross the line
Run, run make it fun
Freeing up the time
Hard times
Get on top
Follow me down the line
Hard times
Get online
Make a grown man blind
Hard times, these hard times
Sure ain't been good to me
Hard times, hard times
Sure been misery
Hard times
Blue and sad
Don't you cross the line
Run, run make it fun
Freeing up the time
Hard times
Get on time
Follow me down the line
Hard times
Get online
Make a grown man blind

A rollin' rock
Electric shocks
She gives a lickin' that don't stop
She line 'em up
Push you round
Smokin' rings, going 'round and 'round
Her hot potatoes
Will elevate you
Her bad behaviour
Will leave you standing proud
Hard as a rock
Hard as a rock
Well it's harder than a rock
Hard as a rock
Well it's harder than a rock
The lightnin' rod
Strike it hot
It's gonna hit you like the Rushmore rock
No nicotine and no pipe dreams
So low and dirty it's darn right mean
Hell elevator
Yeah, I'll see you later
No I ain't gonna take it
I'm bustin' out
Hard as a rock
Hard as a rock
Well it's harder than a rock
Hard as a rock
Yes it's harder than a rock yeah
Hard as a rock
Harder than a rock
Hard as a rock
I'm getting' harder
Harder than a rock
Well I'm harder than a rock
Hard as a rock
Baby I'm harder than a rock yeah
Hard as a rock
Harder than a rock
Hard as a rock
Yeah it's harder than a rock
Hard as a rock
Well I'm harder than a rock
Hard as a rock
Guess I'm harder, harder, harder, harder than a rock
