Well, we all knew things had to get better
If we kept acting rational, I'd say
I can see the clouds on the horizon
About time to come and ride again
Stunning records call across the country
And shares are rising on the stock exchange
Bad times are comin' round again
Bad times are comin' round
Bad times are comin' round
Bad times are comin' round again
Well, you might need a drink
But you don't need a weather van
Bad times are comin' round again
When slaves strike here by the million
Now you will look around for that freedom
See it slipping down the bottle of a gun
White men in suits lose all direction
And white men in hoods are back again
About time to come and run again
Bad times are comin' round, bad times are comin' round,
bad times are comin' round again
Bad times are comin' round
The yuppies come and gentrify
Krusty say they'll fight it to the end
But no one asks the black or the
If bad times are coming round again
Bad times are coming round
Bad times are coming round
Bad times are coming round again
Well, you might need a drink,
but you don't need a weatherman
Bad times are coming round again
Bad times are coming round
Bad times are coming round
Bad times are coming round again
Well, fold up your windows,
Bad times are coming round again
Bad times are coming round again
Bad times are coming around again
