No Hard Feelings

(album: Eric Carmen - 1975)

We was young
And still believed in a "Hard Day's Night"
But no one seemed to understand
That there was no relief in sight
The company man
He's got his nose glued to the charts
He says the record's doing fine
But now the group is falling apart

I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause there isn't anyone to blame
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause nothing ever stays the same
Well we was locked in image prison
Waiting for that break
We was raped, reshaped and trying to escape
Caught in a rock and roll time warp
Just trying to find the way to get out

Four years on
And things were really getting too intense
Critics raving 'bout our album
But we're making fifty cents
And in the end
We was facing the hard, cold truth
So tomorrow come what may
Looks like it's Ricky and The Tooth

I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause there isn't anyone to blame
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause nothing ever stays the same
Well we was locked in image prison
Waiting for that break
We was raped, reshaped and trying to escape
Caught in a rock and roll time warp
Just trying to find the way to get out

We gave it everything we had to give
But it was getting so tough
Too much frustration makes it hard to live
I think enough is enough
I said enough is enough

I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause there isn't anyone to blame
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause nothing ever stay the same
While we was locked in image prison
Waiting for that break
We was raped, reshaped and trying to escape
Caught in a rock and roll time warp
Just trying to fine the way to get out

Lemme out, lemme out
Lemme out, lemme out
I gotta get out
Lemme out, lemme out
I gotta gotta gotta get out
Lemme out
I gotta get out
Lemme out, lemme out, lemme out
Lemme out
