I got this song off the radio years ago, and the tape ran out before the end. It may be that I got most of it, but not having heard the end I don't know.... here's what I got. Anyone know this song and whether I'm missing any words?

Hard Times

Mama doesn't care if I stay out in the street
Well I only see her once or twice a week
So I just murder rob and destroy
I'm a natural born citified boy
I'm saying hard times, they're getting harder all the time
Saying hard times, they're getting harder all the time
Whoa hard times, they're getting harder all the time

And daddy doesn't care he's just living for the booze
And if he wants my respect well he knows what he can do
He drinks and bets all our money away
And I'll get even with him someday
I'm saying hard times, they're getting harder all the time
Saying hard times, they're getting harder all the time
Whoa hard times, they're getting harder all the time

And my younger brother, he's turning out the same
And my little sister, oh I think she's on the game

Inst

And my younger brother, he's turning out the same
And my little sister, oh I think she's on the game

So tell me how lucky can one boy get
I'm a father of five and I ain't even married yet
And what brains I've got I keep in my feet
And I've got the fastest head in the street
I'm saying hard times, they're getting harder all the time
Saying hard times, they're getting harder all the time
Whoa hard times, they're getting harder all the time
