[Livin' In] Desperate Times lyrics

Never thought it would be so rough

And I wonder if I have enough

To keep from breaking down

No mercy in this town

Every day is just another test

Seems I'm always second best

But you learn along the way

That's the price you have to pay

I try to stay defiant, be tough and self-reliant

Though I get tired to the bone

Love is just a wish I keep inside

How's it gonna help me to survive?

Looks like I'm in this fight alone

And I'm livin' in desperate times

Being alive's my only crime

Don't care what I have to do

I'll find some way to make it through

Oh, and I'm livin' in desperate times

And it's too late to change my mind

'Til these desperate times are done, gonna run

Watch me run

Innocents get taken in

By the promise of an easy win

They start off so naive

So eager to believe

But the glitter of the city lights

Only covers up a lonely night

Of strangers slamming doors

You're hungry and ignored

I've faced the competition

I've made the hard decisions

Will it be worth it in the end?

Taking any chance that comes along

Getting hard to tell what's right or wrong

I only wish I had a friend

And I'm livin' in desperate times

Being alive's my only crime

Don't care what I have to do

I'll find some way to make it through

Oh, and I'm livin' in desperate times

And it's too late to change my mind

'Til these desperate times are done, gonna run

Watch me run
