Hard Time

(album: Detonator - 1990)

When you're down
Kissing the ground
And your friends downtown
Won't even let you sleep on the floor anymore
When you're holding up a cup
On a corner in the cold all night
You start to cry and wonder why

You're doing hard time
You're doing hard time, hard time
Even your soul ain't got a dime
You're doing hard time, hard time

Outta luck, can't make a buck
Try to run but you're stuck
In the muck of your shattered life
Like a knife through your heart tears you apart
You got no one to hold but
Your memories through the night
And you can't see the light

You're doing hard time
You're doing hard time, hard time
Even your soul ain't got a dime
You're doing hard time, hard time

When you're found they push you around
You got no one to hold but
Your memories through the night
You can't see the light

You're doing hard time
You're doing hard time, hard time
Even your soul ain't got a dime
You're doing hard time, hard time

When you're found they push you around
You got no one to hold but
Your memories through the night
You can't see the light
