This Cold, Hard Town


(Hazen)


Well, there ain't no living when you're livin' down...
In this cold, hard town
In this cold, hard town
In this cold, hard town


Power plants and the river flows
Rainmen know good things to know
But deep inside there is a temporary hell
Bankers bank and tellers tell


Stuck inside and I'm lost somewhere
People out there don't seem to care
In this cold, hard town
In this cold, hard town
In this cold, hard town


They spit you out and they knock you around
In this cold, hard town
In this cold, hard town
In this cold, hard town


I've been fenced in and behind the wall
I've never been to Eden, and I may not see the fall
So here I am just playing in the yard
In this cold, hard town
In this cold, dark town
In this cold, dark town


An' the women outside just want to be in my face
Seems there ain't no hope for goodness in this awful place
No, this cold, hard town
Oh, this cold, dark town


A little trance big shiver comes
It's so much work to play so dumb
With a glare of contempt and a guillotine blade nod
Devil's dog and messiahs god


There's no such thing as living when you're livin' down
In this cold, hard town
In this cold, hard town
In this cold, hard town


In this cold, hard town ; In this cold, hard town
In this cold, hard town ; In this cold, hard town
