Lyrics Ballad Of The Hard Man - Thin Lizzy

Ballad Of The Hard Man

I’ve been mixed up, cut up so sit down and shut up
'Cause I’m a hard man
I was hung up, strung out but I can’t take no more junk
Even if you can
It will beat ya cheat ya
Deceit ya, defeat ya
No rocker, bopper, show stealin' teeny bopper
Gonna get a thing from me
No fat, black, back scratchin' pussy cat
Gonna get her claws on me
Well they got a scheme to sell you kids
The silver screens and glossy magazines
Better hold back, good times, strung out, hung up
Strong out, picked on, ripped off, kicked out
Spit on, set up, ripped off, locked up, sent down
Maybe you’re as hard as I am
Just blow me away
