Hard Knock Lyrics

Hey, hey! I think I'm free
Hell yeah, I'm just a slave of this life
The Devil's watchin' my ass all night
But that is what I don't realize

I find my self in this cage
All it matters how to knock it through

I feel the hard knock in my head
We had no choice but to live this life
I feel the hard knock in my heart
If only I could just be my self

Hey, hey! Wake up, you!
I hear the voice shouting in my head
Why should I follow these silly rules
They make no sense living my own way

Don't give a shit about no fortune
All it matters: Will I die free?

I feel the hard knock in my head
We had no choice but to live this life
I feel the hard knock in my heart
If only I could just be my self

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
