Hard Lies

Take what you can Try to take it all That's what you were taught When you were small Something for nothing Just ain't the way Everything you got Had a price to pay Who can you believe When you turn your back Who can you believe When you're being told Hard lies hard lies They seem to surround our lives Hard lies hard lies Like the chill of a cold, dark night People look at you Right in the eyes Calling you 'friend' While they tell you lies Taking from you All that they can Making you feel Like a lesser man Who can you believe When you turn your back Who can you believe When you're being told Hard lies hard lies They seem to surround our lives Hard lies hard lies Like the chill of a cold, dark night
