Mannnnn.....
There's a whale outta water
Whoaaaa.....
There's a bone on a string
Doing everything the hard way x2
Stilllll.....
There's ? for the wicked
??? (weak-kneed and ...?)
Go to pale the hard way x2
Sort it out in the animal sea
The factor of the human pride
The place where I was born
The place where my father died
Past the police there's an army
Marching like stone guards from Hell
Into the wishing well the hard way
Wishing well the hard way
Doing everything the hard way x7
We're doing everything the hard way.
