Everywhere I see hard times and misery
People holding on to faded dreams
Unemployment's on the rise
We're outsourced and cast aside
As the bottom line replaces loyalty
We're living in the land of plenty
But there are plenty in this land without enough
If we're living in the land of plenty
Then why do these times seem so tough?
Homeless families getting by on charity
Pray one day their suffering will cease
Broken promises and lies
Conquer faith in these desperate times
We've been bushwacked by a failed economy
We're living in the land of plenty
But there are plenty in this land without enough
If we're living in the land of plenty
Then why do these times
Tell me why do these time
Oh why do these times seem so tough?
