Hard Livin' Lyrics
If you demand an explanation
I am here because I want to be
Not because my mother sent me
She told me, when I first left her heat
Bring a coat, it's cold
If you don't, I won't sleep
At first, I didn't believe
That the key to success in the world is to leave shelter
And that shelter is slavery
That comfort is the enemy
So I wanted to go to a party with you
Not because I like parties
I hate them, but I like you
There's no secret cloak
Nor a thick wooly coat
That can shield you from bad feelings
It's these truths that are hard telling
A wise man once told me
To be active in power is to be free
So why surrender one's autonomy
To spend a night with some lady?
I want someone to tell me
Before I hurt myself
That all living is hard living
As for all the love that's in my heart
And this is going to smart
I know getting, not giving
But if you want to talk about it, let's talk about it
I am here because I want to be
Not because my mother sent me
Bring a coat, it's cold
If you don't, I won't sleep
That the key to success in the world is to leave shelter
And that shelter is slavery
That comfort is the enemy
Not because I like parties
I hate them, but I like you
Nor a thick wooly coat
That can shield you from bad feelings
It's these truths that are hard telling
To be active in power is to be free
So why surrender one's autonomy
To spend a night with some lady?
Before I hurt myself
That all living is hard living
And this is going to smart
I know getting, not giving
