Hard Knock Living

Its easy to believe

To some degree

That you can do it if you try

Its hard enough

To shake it up

And light that little fire in your eyes

Keep the dream alive

If you want to survive

Hard knock living

If you want to survive

Give it

Everything in this life

Will come easy if you try

Will come easy if you try

It's easy to

Believe the truth

And easier to see

If it's a lie I know

It's hard to break the mould

And only loners know

Life's just a melody

You've got the remedy

Get up on the go

Shout it from your throat

Let everybody know

Till everybody knows

Keep the dream alive

If you want to survive

Hard knock living

If you want to survive

Give it

Everything in this life

Will come easy if you try

Will come easy if you

Try to relate

To the people who say

That the money gonna come

When we're sleeping in the day

But the papers all say

We're a nuisance these days

We've got twelve in a bed set

Working on a night shift

Trying to make a penny

But Jenny's gotta babysit

All the little ones so they grow up strong

Cause the best of the rest like to kick it with the bong

And as the night goes long

We sing another song

If band don't play

We're gonna sing it anyway

We're gonna sing it anyway

Hard knock living

If you want to survive

Give it

Everything in this life

Will come easy if you try

Will come easy if you try
