Hard Life

It’s hard life when you’re tryin’ to break in
It’s a big world when you’re tryin’ to paint it
It all comes down to how much you can take
It’s a hard life
It’s a bum rap and you can’t beat it
You’re a sitting duck every moment that you’re breathin’
Tryin’ to scratch a living from the earth till you’re beneath it
It’s a hard life

Mister Jim didn’t have a friend, sat alone at each day’s end
Woke up every morning wondering what the hell was goin’ on
Got tired of the pushin’, tired of the shovin’
Ran out of food so he put his head in the oven
Worst part of it was no-ne noticed he was gone

It’s hard life when you’re tryin’ to break in
It’s a big world when you’re tryin’ to paint it
It all comes down to how much you can take
It’s a hard life
It’s a bum rap and you can’t beat it
You’re a sitting duck every moment that you’re breathin’
Tryin’ to scratch a living from the earth till you’re beneath it
It’s a hard life


Mama went down to the doctor hopin’ he’d say something to reassure her
Hopin’ that he had something to cure her on the shelf
Walked down the stairs and hit the street, along cam a truck to knock her off her feet
She was dead on arrival with a clean bill of health

It’s hard life when you’re tryin’ to break in
It’s a big world when you’re tryin’ to paint it
It all comes down to how much you can take
It’s a hard life
It’s a bum rap and you can’t beat it
You’re a sitting duck every moment that you’re breathin’
Tryin’ to scratch a living from the earth till you’re beneath it
It’s a hard life


Young man stands by the village square lookin’ at all the people there
He had a fuse in one hand, in the other hand a lighter
He’s gonna strike a blow against the devil then he’ll be in heaven forever
One person’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter

It’s hard life when you’re tryin’ to break in
It’s a big world when you’re tryin’ to paint it
It all comes down to how much you can take
It’s a hard life
It’s a bum rap and you can’t beat it
You’re a sitting duck every moment that you’re breathin’
Tryin’ to scratch a living from the earth till you’re beneath it
It’s a hard life
