[Verse 1]

Come off crisp, play up to the cynic

Clean and schooled, right down to the minute

You need to hear that your life is rough

Speaking out and cold that you've had enough

[Verse 2]

You know how to live, and your heart's gone "bi"

Substance rush, giving art a try

Your righteous squat's been burned to the ground

Pass the buck, never utter a sound

[Pre-Chorus]

High times, hard times

Downtown Julie Brown

High times, hard times

Downtown Julie

[Chorus]

You turned out

Wasted time

Need escape me

Missed it, right?

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

High times, hard times

Downtown Julie Brown

High times, hard times

Downtown Julie

[Chorus]

You turned out

Wasted time

Need escape me

Missed it, right?
