(Livin' In) Desperate Times (Olivia Newton-John) Never thought it would be so rough, And I wondered if I had enough, To keep from breakin' down, No mercy in this town! Everyday is just another test, Seems I'm always second best, But you learn along the way, Its the price you have to pay. I try to stay and fight it. Too tough and self reliant, But why get tied to the bone? Love is just a wish you keep inside, How's it gonna help me to survive, Looks like I'm in this fight alone! (Chorus) And I'm livin' in desperate times, Being alive's my only crime! Don't care what I have to do, I'll find some way to make it through. And I'm livin' in desperate times And it's too late to change my mind! 'Till these desperate times are done, I'm gonna run, Watch me run!! Innosence get taken in, I don't wanna stop at easy win. And start off so nieve, so easy to believe! Though the glitter of the city lights, only covers up a lonely night. All strangers have been lost, you hung me and ignored. I faced the compitition, I've made the hard decisions. Will it be worth it in the end? Taking any chance that comes along, Getting caught in troubles right or wrong. I only wish I had a friend! (chorus)
