Last time I checked The bills just went up And all my friends Are in the pub getting messed up Last time I checked Everything was getting more expensive And all my friends Are out getting higher than the rent is And I know that times are hard We can make it if we try While they build their house of cards We're all just trynna get by And we've all lost friends To better lands I hope you're doing better, man There's nothing good back here Except the people that you love We need to put this country In some better hands Who don't care about the envelopes and rubber bands We just want to see some change Oh, oh, oh Life's hard in the city And it's hard in the country Oh oh oh I wanna love where I'm from But it doesn't seem to love me Oh oh oh Life's hard in the streets And it's hard on the back roads Oh oh oh I wanna come back home But it wouldn't take me back though It's funny how in the capital of the republic The public don't have much capital and a few sitting in the Dáil Seem to have it all Talk about that, you're a radical I just wanna seem some problems solved See some care for a common cause But there's no common cause When they say the problems Are caused by the commons Say you're lazy when their wages Are paid by robbing Families facing eviction, sickening They keep the money at the top And then claim down that it's trickling But it's all theory and fiction The only thing trickling down Is tears on cheeks As faces go pale and knees go weak As prices rise each week For the profits they seek They give the middle finger To the people's well-being, yeah Tax every class but the top percent And the corporations that they defend, yeah It's just 12.5, man They could use that money To keep people alive, man. Another pay rise scam Another high rise plan More bottles, more cries We need to put this country In some better hands Who don't care about the envelopes and rubber bands We just want to see some change. Oh, oh, oh Life's hard in the city And it's hard in the country Oh oh oh I wanna love where I'm from But it doesn't seem to love me Oh oh oh Life's hard in the streets And it's hard on the back roads Oh oh oh I wanna come back home But We just wanna seem some change But time goes by And we realise That change never came So we cry As our hope it dies We just wanna seem some change But time goes by And we realise That change never came So we cry As our hope it dies Oh, oh, oh Life's hard in the city And it's hard in the country Oh oh oh I wanna love where I'm from But it doesn't seem to love me Oh oh oh Life's hard in the streets And it's hard on the back roads Oh oh oh I wanna come back home But it wouldn't take me back though Oh, oh, oh Life's hard in the city And it's hard in the country Oh oh oh I wanna love where I'm from But it doesn't seem to love me Oh oh oh Life's hard in the streets And it's hard on the back roads Oh oh oh I wanna come back home But it wouldn't take me back though
