Times are changing for the worse
Gotta keep a positive outlook
Growing up in such violent times
Have some faith and you'll get by

Thinking back when I was a kid
Times have changed so much since then
All grown up I gotta do for myself
I refuse to depend on anyone else

Life's hard, you [bad word] some times
In the end I'll get what's mine
But for now I'll deal with the times
Have some faith and you'll get by

Thinking back when I was a kid
Times have changed so much since then
All grown up I gotta do for myself
I refuse to depend on anyone else

Times are changing for the worse
Times are changing - I keep

Thinking back when I was a kid
Times have changed so much since then
All grown up I gotta do for myself
I refuse to depend on anyone else

I know my family is there for me
And without them where the [bad word] would I be
But still I gotta try to be my own man
Make good of what I got - do the best that I can
