This song is written with a heavy hand, as if the pencil’s pushing down on me.
No money’s growing and I hate to admit that I’m in debt. I owe the money tree.
Na, na, na, na, na.
Well for a long time I climbed to pick the apples, sweet apples, and they never tasted oh so good,
till gravity came down on me with apples, sweet apples, and the bastards took a bite of me.
My education got me ready for some singing in the shower, and my thinking gets me ready for bed.
If I keep carrying this load I’m just bound to explode, as the apple sauce is filling in my head.
Aah.
These are heavy times for a man like me, yea these are rock hard and heavy times.
These are sweaty times for a man like me, yea these are teary-eyed and bloody times,
yea these are rock hard and heavy times.
Na, na, na, na, na.
It’s said that smooth sailing never makes a good sailor, and that character don’t come with ease.
Well I never had the stomach to be walking on water and my character is in the breeze.
And during heavy times, it gets so hard to get dressed, to tie a tie so tight around the blowin’ wind.
I’ve got a shoelace round my finger and still I’m trying to forget... is this the middle, the beginning, or the end?
Aah.
These are heavy times for a man like me, yea these are rock hard and heavy times.
These are sweaty times for a man like me, yea these are teary-eyed and bloody times,
yea these are rock hard and heavy times.
