Cold Hard World |
| It’s a cold hard world |
| It’s a cold hard world |
| It’s a cold hard world |
| Oh no |
| I heard Red Donley say |
| It was on the news today |
| It’s a cold hard world |
| It’s a cold hard world |
| It’s hiking across the country |
| Looking for a bite to eat |
| You’d be surprised at the animals |
| And the people you’d meet |
| Rolling down that highway |
| With eyes fixed straight ahead |
| They have a caravan of cars |
| To bury the dead |
| And coke cans and pop bottles |
| Lined the streets like flowers instead |
| And this guy gave me a ride |
| I said this industrial waste sure stinks |
| He said he likes that smell |
| 'cause that’s the smell of money |
| I said «well, mister money stinks, too.» |
| I met a fireman |
| He said you never forget burning flesh |
| And the librarian said |
| Do you have a card here? |
| I said I been coming here for weeks |
| Don’t you recognize me by now |
| I checked out a million books |
| Just to get you to notice me |
| Somebody’s house burned down |
| Somebody’s hubcap fell off |
| Somebody’s soul got lost |
| Somebody’s heart got broke |
| I heard Red Donley say |
| It was on the news today |
| It’s a cold hard world |
| It’s a cold hard world |
