Guster - Hard Times lyrics

Enter a scene that defies description
They say to open your mind
And take it all inside one click at a time

We move through fictions
And send our sisters to the sacrifice
A cruel conviction
Sinister systems keep us satisfied
These are hard times

I’m breathing in the oxygen
I’m holding it through hard times
I’m breathing out in the ultrasound
Things come around in hard times

10, 000 miles of the new prescriptions
So we open our mouths and take 'em all inside
One pill at a time the purist fictions

We send our sisters to the sacrifice
With cruel conviction
Sinister systems keep us satisfied
These are hard times

I’m breathing in the oxygen
I’m holding it through hard times
I’m breathing out in the ultrasound
Things come around in hard times

We send our sisters a new religion
We send our sisters to the sacrifice
And then the audience goes wild

I’m breathing in the oxygen
I’m holding it through hard times
(These are hard times)
I’m breathing out in the ultrasound
Things come around in hard times
(These are hard times)
I’m breathing in the oxygen
Take it all inside, take it all inside
(I’m holding it through hard times)
I’m breathing out in the ultrasound
Things come around in hard times
