gettin' hard

found me golden angel

gonna do me for a song

love me 'til tomorrow

who knows if she'll be gone

for once i tried to keep her

i guess that i was wrong

she just wants some money

to line her silver tongue

and when the animal that lives inside you calls

when you cannot feed the hunger

then the hammer falls

gettin' hard

hard to live with

something's gotta give

try to make a living

overworked and underpaid

slaving so one day

i can get away

man looks at me for answers

poor boy take the blame

seein' it through the boss man's eyes

we all must look the same

and when the animal that lives inside you calls

when you cannot feed the hunger

then the hammer falls

gettin' hard

hard to live with

something's gotta give
