Don't know what to say
Hangin' on day to day
Look around all I see
Hard times for liberty
Saw a man shot in the back
Guilty of being black
Shadows of slavery
Hard times for liberty
Hard times
Hard times
Hard times for liberty
When a lady looks so sweet
She ain't your piece of meat
Just wants to be let be
Hard times for liberty
Work hard to pay the bills
So broke I need those pills
Feel trapped can't break free
Hard times for liberty
Hard times
Hard times
Hard times for liberty
If all of us ain't free
We don't have liberty
Be who you will be
Fight for your liberty
Muslims pray on their knees
Y'all just let 'em be
Only love can set us free
Hard times for liberty
Lots of folks on the street
Need food a place to sleep
Need hope not sympathy
Hard times for liberty
Hard times
Hard times
Hard times for liberty
Mountain man won't bake a cake
Says it's for God's sake
God hates your bigotry
Hard times for liberty
Don't know what to say
Hangin' on day to day
Look around all I see
Hard times for liberty
Hard times
Hard times
Hard times for liberty
