Andrew Cedermark - Hard Livin' lyrics

rate me

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
