Lyrics:

I met a man standing on the street todayThrough his eyes, the world looked so grimAs if we all don't know just what it's likeWhen the rain falls down and the lightning strikesBut then girl, I've been runnin' most of my lifeAnd I've been around long enough to learnThat one man's blue sky is another man's rainAnd no matter what is in it for me, I only know for him[Chorus:]These are bad timesThese are real bad timesThese are sad timesThese are bad timesI know we each bear the brunt of our liesBut not until the spirit sinks so lowDoes a man start to feel all aloneAnd when he turns his back on trustThen they've only just begun[Chorus]Oh, I can see there ain't much good left to saveIf all we have, we let time eraseBut I can still make the blues fade awayTill all I see is your sweet face
