Good times get hard
And hard times gettin' harder
Times like these
Make the weak hearts scatter
And when friday comes
Said I want my pay
Oh them tables must turn one day

All around the town
Hear the people chatter
Poor man get thin
Rich man gettin' fatter
Lightning flash
Thunder roll
When I get control
Lightning flash
Thunder roll
When I get control

Oh i watched the birds
Down on the street
Some of them got no bread
But they still seem to eat
And this house is not a home
If you ain't got no heat
Some are gona win
Some still gona cheat

All around the town
Hear the people chatter
Poor man get thin
Rich man gettin' fatter
Lightning flash
Thunder roll
When I get control
Lightning flash
Thunder roll
When I get control

Some show off
What they never earned
Nothing lasts forever
It's all gona burn
When the walls come down
Tell me where you gona turn
Many have the minds
Few ever learn

All around the town
Hear the people chatter
Poor man get thin
Rich man gettin' fatter

All around the town
Hear the people chatter
Poor man get thin
Rich man gettin' fatter
Lightning flash
Thunder roll
When I get control
Lightning flash
Thunder roll
When I get control

Yeah when that lightning flash
And that flame get hot
Some take the heat
Some do not
Lightning flash
Thunder roll
When I get control
Lightning flash
Oh that thunder gona roll
