It’s a cold, cold world
Full of sick, sick people
No peace, no security
I’m no longer at ease
This world won’t defeat me
I will smite my enemies
Hail Mary
Father forgive us
Strike down those who ain’t with us
I’ll never be controlled
I got a mischievous soul
76 ‘till infinity
76 ‘till infinity
Your dad’s getting old
I’m wrinkled and scarred
Tall tales and war stories
There’s wisdom in these bars
When it seems hopeless
Stay focused
Stay in control
Steel your soul
Self-doubt and depression
Disappointment and rejection
Failures and mistakes
Betrayal and heartbreaks
When your lungs constrict
Your mind’s playing tricks
Flex your inner strength
Politics and division
It’s a hard-knock life
Hypocrite and indecision
It’s a hard-knock life
