Hard Time Killing Room Floor Blues - Chris T. King (With Lyrics)

from the 2000 movie soundtrack "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?"
Lyrics :
Hard Time Killing Room Floor

Hard time here and everywhere you go
Times is harder than ever been before

And the people are driftin' from door to door
Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they go

Hear me tell you people, just before I go
These hard times will kill you just dry long so

Well, you hear me singin' my lonesome song
These hard times can last us so very long

If I ever get off this killin' floor
I'll never get down this low no more
No-no, no-no, I'll never get down this low no more

And you say you had money, you better be sure
'Cause these hard times will drive you from door to door

Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more
Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more
These hard times will drive you from door to door

I am The Reverend Randy! Master of all religions, believer in none! TO the point, though, this is common in all declining Empires throughout human history. When the economy fails, we always turn to some imaginary friend in the clouds; we become conservative jerks. We pray to imaginary gods to help us, instead of actually doing something practical. Thereby, hastening the End. Humans are predictable, in this way. The intellectuals like you and I, just get swallowed up

[hyperdiabolical]

@Paganguy1 I guess what I mean PG is that I am confused. I am in favor of compromise and pragmatism. Eventually you cannot move one way or the other when you become obsessed with ideology. I am no ideologist. Just get the damned job done, if ya know what I mean.

@Paganguy1 Thanks brotherman. Who's Rev. Randy? I hate the folks you refer to. The Republican party is drivin' me nuts now. They used to be the party of "family values" and now are the party of Gingrinch AND Mitt Romney. One cannot get more pragmatic than that, hahahaha! At some point pragmatism means you stand for nothing. Don't know who to vote for this go round. I think I'll vote in favor of populism and everyone's playin that card these day. I enjoy this coversation with ya PG.

*Rev. Randy bows* Wisely spoken and truly said. Agreed. It was pragmatism and rationalism that brought us out of the Dark Ages... now there are people, powerful people, who would plunge us back into the Dark.

theres sooo much soul in this song.its incredible.as a rap fan,its odd to have a song of such a different stlye grab my attention like no other song has.very intregeing and inspireing,makes you think.

[hyperdiabolical]

@Paganguy1 I agree, that's why political radicalism and religious fundamentalism usually end up in homocide. I am a pragmatist rather than a "true believer".

@hyperdiabolical

Indeed. All mythology, as you obviously realize, is a metaphore for some aspect of the human condition. More fascinating on a psychological level than a metephysical or religious one, (is there a difference? LOL!)

[hyperdiabolical]

@Paganguy1 Thanks for the info Paganguy! I have always looked at crossroads as a right or wrong choice and a helluva place to get lost if you are not careful. hahahah!

[Paganguy1]

@hyperdiabolical

Yes. Indeed. Fascinating... actually, the idea of selling your soul "at the Crossroads" goes back to ancient Rome. The Goddess "Trivia" was the Goddess of crossroads, (Tri-VIA, get it?). Years later, the Goddess was replaced by this Satan character, which always seems to happen, because men are very afraid of women.... apparently... but yeah... very interesting legend that was pervasive all the way to modern day Mississip! Great video!

@BigCanOfBeans Which quote? My old channel feature pic was of Johnny Cash so that's why he might be quoted here.
