Hard Knocks
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm not
always trying to keep me down
keep me crawling on the ground
I can't win
I never seem to graduate
always end up on first base
But it won't fade away
But it won't fade away
you're gonna hear from me
When I'm
standing on my own two feet
always seem to draw the heat
I'm not always taken for a fool
someone else is making the rules
But it won't fade away
But it won't fade away
They're gonna hear from me
I'll admit I feel shaky
but it won't be me
I know they love to see me breaking
but it won't be me
I'm not
guaranteed to make you tough
can't you see I've had enough
I can't win
I never seem to graduate
always end up on first base
But it won't fade away
But it won't fade away
But it won't fade away
But it won't fade away
And they won't break me down
And they won't break me down
(repeat to fade)
