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 dawnly 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 angles
and the people you'd meet
rolling down that highway
with eyes fixed straight ahead.
they had 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,
cos thats the smell of money
i said "well mister, money stinks too."

it's a cold hard world.
it's a cold hard world.
it's a cold hard world.
oh no.

i met a fireman
he said "you never forget burning flesh."
and the librarian said
"do you have a card here?"
i said "ive been coming here for weeks
don't you recognise me by now?
i've checked out a million books
just to get you to notice me."

it's a cold hard world.
it's a cold hard world.
it's a cold hard world.
oh no.

somebody's house burned down.
somebody's hubcap fell off.
somebody's soul got lost.
somebody's heart got broke.

i heard red dawnly say
(it was on the news today)
it's a cold hard world.
it's a cold hard world.
