Danny Vash - Hard Life Lyrics

My father told me when I was young, he said listen to me my son. Someday you're going to grow up to be a man someday.
I teach you wrong, I teach you right, how to love and how to fight, how to stay on top of the world every day

chorus
Because it's a Hard Life and you've got to stand your ground. Like a sharp knife, well it's going to cut you down.
It's a Hard Life and you've got to stand your ground. Like a sharp knife, well it's going to cut you down. Going to cut you down.

I took my chance in the industry with a typical strategy. Get my foot in the door I can go all the way.
Now every day I go to work. Bust my ass like a stupid jerk. Just to stay on top of the corporate game.

chorus
Because it's a Hard Life and you've got to stand your ground. Like a sharp knife, well it's going to cut you down.
It's a Hard Life and you've got to stand your ground. Like a sharp knife, well it's going to cut you down. Going to cut you down. Cut me!

Now I look back when I was young. All the things I should've done. Every slap in the face every step of the way.
Knocked on your ass you get backup and when you think you've had enough. Don't bend over; don't let them have their way.

chorus
Because it's a Hard Life and you've got to stand your ground. Like a sharp knife, well it's going to cut you down.
It's a Hard Life and you've got to stand your ground. Like a sharp knife, well it's going to cut you down.
It's a Hard Life! It's a Hard Life! It's a Hard Life! It's a Hard Life!
