It's a Hard World
I live in a vacuum, no airI'm stuck in back room, somewhereBut it don't bother me amyway 'cause I knowGoin' to get out soon, I got places to go
There's a big world waiting for meI just need a break, someone to believebut right now I'm just tryin' to surviveLivin' rough, shackin' up, hangin' tough, shapin' up
Get the picture, get the scene I paint for youAh, but it's worth it, all the pain I'm goin' throughBeat the sidewalk, hear the fast talk, everydayI don't worry 'cause I know I'm on my way
The view from my window, ain't too goodShould be some mail for me soon from HollywoodWhen the phone rings, could be big things, anytimeOperator is there somethin' wrong with this line
Rejections, I've had a fewHappens to the best, it ain't nothin' newStill I keep on swingin' awayS'gonna be a breakthrough any day
Keep hanging in there, that's my philosophyAnd soon I'll find my big chance, wait and seeSome make it fast, but they just come and goMe, I'm built to last and that's one thing I know
Those straight life people, they don't understandYeah they just want it all laid out and plannedMe, I'm not like them, I do things my own wayI know I'm gonna break through any day
Life in the city, can get you downThere's a million guys out there all snooping aroundYou gotta think you're the best, beat out all the restAnd fight your way up to the top of the town
There's a big world waiting for meI just need a break, someone to believeRight now I'm just tryin' to surviveI'm know I'm gonna get there, dead or alive
I'm going to reach for the moonAnd all the stars tooI'm gonna get there real soon, I know I willI want the universe, and all the planers too
