Hard World

When my dad was growin' up
He didn't have no luxury
Every day, he walked to school
In snow up to his knees
In the days of his youth
The world was a better place
Didn't have the kind of problems
That today we've got to face
It's a hard world
But it's our world
It's a hard world
But it's our world
That was then and this is now, oh, yeah
People look at us
And wonder why we do
Things that seem out of place
Unless you've been there too
Old man thinks it's funny
That we've got to take a stand
We're just trying to make it
The only way we can
It's a hard world
But it's our world
It's a hard world
But it's our world
That was then and this is now, oh, yeah
Look what we've had to live with
It's all that's left, you see
For those that went before us
Had lived so recklessly
It's a hard world
But it's our world
It's a hard world
But it's our world
That was then and this is now, oh
It's a hard world
But it's our world
It's a hard world
But it's our world
That was then and this is now, oh, oh
It's a hard world
Yeah
