Zach Bryan Uses Dusty Rhodes’ ‘Hard Times’ Promo In ‘Robot Killed The Working Man’

Zach Bryan knows Hard Times.

In his new song, “Robot Killed The Working Man,” Zach Bryan used the famous “Hard Times” promo from Dusty Rhodes to open the track.

You don’t know what hard times are, daddy
Hard times are when the textile workers around this country are out of work
They got four or five kids and can’t pay their wages, can’t buy their food
Hard times are when the auto workers are out of work and they tell ’em go home
And hard times are when a man has worked at a job thirty years, thirty years
They give him a watch, kick him in the butt
And say, “Hey, a computer took your place, daddy”

In the chorus, Bryan sings:

The robot killed the working man
Took the nail and hammer right out of his hands
Sealed up the coffin, sold off the land
Replaced the good book with machines in their hands
Sooner or later, more soon than not
Them homegrown tomatoes all ripen then rot
With no rhyme or reason and no helping hand
The day the robot killed the working man

Bryan is currently on tour, and has had wrestling influence in the past on tour.

Braun Strowman, Brock Lesnar, and Britt Baker have all joined him on stage at his concerts.
