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.
It's the hard-knock life for us
It's the hard-knock life for us
Instead treated
We get tricked
Instead of kisses
We get kicked
It's the hard-knock life!
Don't if feel like the wind is always howlin'?
Don't it seem like there's never any light?
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?
It's easier than puttin' up a fight
No one's there when your dreams at night get creepy
No one cares if you grow or if you shrink
No one cries when your eyes get wet and weepy
From all the cryin' you would think this place would sink
Empty belly life!
Rotten smelly life!
Full of sorrow life!
No tomorrow life!
Santa claus we never see
Santa claus what's that? Who's he?
It's the hard-knock life
