Lyrics
Let me tell you about the hard life
That is too hard to cut with a knife
Growing up is tough
It's full of bad stuff
Many kids are bullied
Many kids get teased
Those people who are bullied
Need to see the entire picture
Because life can be tough
For a lot of people
Especially those who live in poverty
And can only afford to get things for free
You might see people on the street
Who are lying at your feet
You should think about how these people survive
Before you eat your dinner at five
You should think about the troops
Before you eat your Fruit Loops
It is important to know
How some people live
And how some people die
The hard life is never easy
The hard life is not breezy
The hard life is tough to live
The hard life is not fun
Remember all of those
Who live the hard life
Because you might have to live the hard life one day
Yeah, you might have to live the hard life one day
