IT’S HARD

Wild eyed and wound up, looking for a way out
I need a Rock Jet to leave this town
Don't try to stop me, you'd better have an army
Can you hear the drums beating like a big red sun?
Sometimes it seems like your breaks keep breaking
And those who got, they just keep taking
They’ll try to tell you, you just can't win
Don't let ‘em sway you ‘cause it's hard
It's hard
She said she lost it. If you ever come across it
It's so precious, it's a long lost song
Kind that used to move her, oh how it moved her
Things were so different then
What went wrong?
There's no asylum for dreamers when they give up
Their hearts are dirty and there nights got long
Kind that used to move her, oh how it moved her
Things were so simple then
What went wrong?
Repeat Chorus
