Ballad of a Hard Man Lyrics

I've been mixed up, cut up.
So sit down and shut up,
'cause I'm a hard man.

I was hung up, strung out.
But I can't take no more junk,
even if you can

It will beat ya,
cheat ya,
deceit ya, defeat ya.

No rocker, bopper,
show stealin' teeny bopper,
is gonna get a thing from me.

No fat, black,
back scratchin' pussy cat,
is gonna get her claws on me.

Well they got a scheme
to sell you kids
the silver screens and glossy magazines.

Better hold back, good times, strung out, hung up,
strong out, picked on, ripped off, kicked out,
spit on, set up, ripped off, locked up, sent down.
Maybe you're as hard as I am.

No rocker, bopper,
show stealin' teeny bopper,
is gonna get a thing from me.

No fat, black,
back scratchin' pussy cat,
is gonna get her claws on me

Just blow me away!
