lyrics

Hard times all around
Trouble sits right down
Smiles that yellow smile
Yeah, he may be here for awhile
And sorrow's back for more
goin' door to door
so you lock yourself inside
to fight the war

With Sgt Pepper, Major Tom
Captain Jack and Delta Dawn
Virgil Caine and Lady Jane
Poorboy Willie, Weird and Gilly
Sam Stone, Jolene
Stella Blue and Billie Jean
Dancing while the world comes to an end
Once again

Hard times all around
Trouble sits right down
Scrunches up his face
Walks around like he owns this place
But you don't even care
finger in the air
You know how it ends
and you got friends

Like Stagger Lee and and Dr. Wu
Carmen and the devil, too
Mrs Jones and Leroy Brown
Bennie's Jets and Kathy's Clown
Sweet Jane, Roxanne
Lola and the Powerman
Dancing while the world comes to an end
Dancing while the world comes to an end
Once again Once again Once again Once again
Once again Once again Once again Once again

Sgt Pepper, Major Tom
Casey Jones and Stacy's mom
Brother Time, Sweet Caroline
and Dr. Funkenstein
Black Betty, Rosalita
Bertha Butt and Lovely Rita
Dancing...
Dancing while the world comes to an end
Dancing while the world comes to an end
Once again Once again Once again Once again
Once again Once again Once again Once again
