lyrics

DESPERATE TIMES (Clayton Doley)

I used to be a happy man I had the world on a string
But i got stung up had a sting of bad luck, lost everything
Somebody stole my car, the machine ate my credit cards
I lost my job my house got robbed I think i need CPR

Desperate times call for desperate measures when your under pressure to sometimes
You got to be strong just to keep on, living in desperate times

I used to be an honest man a pillar of society
But i turned to crime just to provide for my family
Struggling to make ends meet just trying to make the rent every week
You know i will beg borrow and steel, 'till i get back on my feet

Desperate times call for desperate measures when your under pressure to sometimes
You got to be strong just to keep on, living in desperate times
