Ma says there's no food, there's nothing left in the larder
Last piece of meat was eaten by the soldiers that raped her
All the children were dead, except for the girl who said
"Please Mister Gringo, please find my father"
Lesson number one that you learn while you're young
Life just goes on and on getting harder and harder
Life just goes on and on getting harder and harder
Little Indian girl, from Nueva, Granada
Yes, I saw them today. It's a sight I would say
They're shooting down planes with their M-16 and with laughter
(spoken)
Mr. Gringo, my father he ain't no Che Guevara
And he's fighting the war on the streets of Masaya
Little Indian girl where is your father?
Little Indian girl where is your momma?
They're fighting for Mr. Castro in the streets of Angola
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Well she used to run around with every man in town
Spent all my money, playing her high class game
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried
Tables turn and now her turn to cry
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Well I used to walk in the morning, get my breakfast in bed
When I'd gotten worried she'd ease my aching head
But now she's here and there, with every man in town
Still trying to take me for that same old clown
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Yeah
Oooh
All of the things that you used to do
If they're done now, well they're done by you
It seems a big failing in a man
To take his girl for granted if he can
And it's hard thing (it's not easy)
And it's hard (it's not easy)
And it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
It's not easy livin' on your own
There's no place where you can call home
Got me running like a cat in a thunderstorm
Just a big bed and a telephone
Like the last remnants of a stately home
And it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
And it's hard (it's not easy)
Well, it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
It's not easy livin' on your own
And it's hard (it's not easy)
And it's hard (it's not easy)
And it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
It's not easy living on your own
Sit here thinking with your head of fire
Go think the same thing and never tire
Imaginin' the glow of her long clean hair
As she goes to sit on her own high chair
And it's hard thing (it's not easy)
Well, it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
Well, it's hard babe (it's not easy)
It's not easy livin' on your own
It's not easy (a pretty tough thing)
It's not easy (well, life pretty rough)
It's not easy (it's a hard time baby)
It's not easy (it's a hard time baby)
It's not easy (it's a pretty hard life)
If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
A love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried? If I cried?
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?
If I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?
If I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would ya think the boy's insane? He's insane
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?
And do ya think that you're the only girl around?
I bet you think that you're the only woman in town
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it. I like it...
Our TV leader boldy speaks
The words of Christ he tries to preach
We need more power to hold the line
The strength of darkness still abides
Must be hell living in the world
Living in the world like you
Must be hell living in the world
Suffering in the world like you
Keep in a straight line, stay in tune
No need to worry, only fools
End up in prison of conscience cells
Or in asylums they help to build
Must be hell living in the world
Suffering in the world like you you you you
Must be hell living in the world
Suffering in the world like you
Must be hell
Suffering in the world like you
We're free to worship, we're free to speak
We're free to kill, that's guaranteed
We got our problems, that's for sure
Clean up the backyard, don't lock the door
Must be hell living in the world
Suffering in the world like you
Must be hell living in the world
Suffering in the world like you
I say we we are heaven bound
I say we we are heaven bound
I say we we are heaven bound
I say we we are heaven bound
I say we we are heaven bound
I say we we are heaven bound
I say we we are heaven bound
I say we we are heaven bound
I say we we are heaven bound
