Good times get hard
And hard times gettin' harder
Times like these
Make the weak hearts scatter
And when Friday comes
Said I want my pay
Oh, them tables must turn one day
All around the town
Hear the people chatter
Poor man get thin
Rich man gettin' fatter
Lightning flash
Thunder roll
When I'm in control
Lightning flash
Thunder roll
When I'm in control now
Oh, I watched the birds
Down on the street
Some of them got no bread
But they still seem to eat
And this house is not a home
If you ain't got no heat
Some are gonna win
Some still gonna cheat, now
All around the town
You hear the people chatter
Poor man get thin
Rich man gettin' fatter, ah
Lightning flash
Thunder roll
When I'm in control
Lightning flash
Thunder roll
When I'm in control
Some show off
What they never earned
Nothing lasts forever
It's all gonna burn
When the walls come down
Tell me where you gonna turn
Many have the minds
Few ever learn
All around the town
Hear them people chatter
Poor man get thin
Rich man gettin' fatter, I say yeah
♪
All around the town
Hear the people chatter
Poor man get thin
Rich man gettin' fatter
Lightning flash
Thunder roll
When I get control
Lightning flash
Thunder roll
When I get control
Yeah, when that lightning flash
And that flame get hotter
Some take the heat
Some do not
Lightning flash
Thunder roll
When I'm in control
Lightning flash
Oh, that thunder gonna roll
