1. Listen to your music, listen to your song, Can't tap my foot, never sing along, Noises that yer makin' chill my blood. Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud! Noise on top of noise! Noise on top of noise! Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud!
2. Bass is full of rumble, treble full of hiss, Wonder if I'll tumble to the words I miss, Noises that yer makin' sound like crud. Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud! Noise on top of noise! Noise on top of noise! Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud!
3. Monophonic melody leaves me wond'rin' if it rocks. Sounds like you were poundin' on a cardboard box. Could've been wecowded by Elmer Fudd. You wascally wabbit, ooo, gwavel and mud. Noise on top of noise! Noise on top of noise! Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud!
4. Used to you could do it but you' lost the touch. Maybe you been playin' with yourself too much. Cause it's you on top of you as you whack your... guitar. Gravel! Gravel and Mud! Noise on top of Noise! Noise on top of Noise! Gravel and Mud! Gravel and Mud!

5. Quality recordings, heard 'em before. I know you can do it, a time or two or more, But this noise on top of noise when you overdud, Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud! Noise on top of noise! Noise on top of noise! Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud!
6. Crazy clever English, play guitar like the King, Poundin' out the good licks; the boy knows how to sing. But when yer reel-to-reelin' really starts to unravel, Mud and Gravel! Mud and Gravel! Noise on top of noise! Noise on top of noise! Gravel and mud! Gravel and mud!
7. Before you get bent out of shape because of what I said, You ought to know yer crummy tape's been wearin' down my head! I wouldn't be quite so concerned about your wayward soul If you didn't act like you were God's gift to ROCK AND ROLL! When it's just noise on top of noise! Noise on top of noise! It's not ROCK AND ROLL BABY ROCK AND ROLL! NOISE ON TOP OF NOISE! NOISE ON TOP OF NOISE! NOISE ON TOP OF NOISE! NOISE ON TOP OF NOISE! NOISE ON TOP OF NOISE ON TOP OF NOISE ON TOP OF NOISE ON TOP OF ROCK AND ROLL BABY ROCK AND ROLL! (carry on frantically with much prancing about until exhausted)

Cm Db C
There's harder times a-comin'.
Cm Db C
Yes, they're just around the bend.
Cm Db C
Tunnel lookin' darker
Bb7 Cm
For the light down at the end.
When everyone is screamin'
for a handout from you friend,
I doubt they'll have the time to hear
the pearls that you extend.
2. You lay it on real heavy with the logic you employ You're laying up your treasure where the moth and rust destroy. You are gonna find no pleasure in the things you now enjoy. You will starve in your abundance and you paid for every toy.
3. When the ones you thought were friendly turn upon you and attack, Will you have another cheek or will you have to hit them back? They will pilfer from your garden to make up for what they lack. When you're hungry in a mansion they'll be sated in a shack.
Mindful Webworks | Short and Tall Tales | Harder Times Again, page 2
4. You won't find a place to hide, 'cause you've been hidden all along. You won't find a secret strength. You have no muscle to be strong. What you never thought you'd do because you knew it would be wrong You will peddle on the streets and you will sell it for a song.
And depending on the hope or hopelessness of the moment...
5. I am headin' for the country where I hope to make a stand. I am gonna dig the dirt and get to know a piece of land. When my friends all come together we will be a country band. When the hardest times are over maybe then we'll understand.

Abm Gm Eb
There's no time to say "I love you."
Gm
Wouldn't be in ten thousand years!
Abm Gm Eb
There are too many thoughts, feelings, and dreams,
Db
And so quick! before time disappears....
2.
Abm Gm Eb
There's a time and a place for ev'rything,
Gm
And in all of our time to be,
Abm Gm Eb
The place doesn't really matter as long
Db
As space contains you and me.
3.
Abm Gm Eb
And we're both gonna live forever,
Gm
And eventually know what's true.
Abm Gm Eb
But through all of eternity-infinite,
Abm Gm Eb
There's no time to say, "I love you."
Abm Gm Eb
