They told me that i couldn't come back here again
Took me for some kind of fool
Said i was doing things that never should be done

But i don't care about their rules

As if i cared 'bout the little minds

In the little heads of the herd
There's nothing you could dream
Would be more absurd


And everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through

These are rock hard times

I don't know what it is they're trying to do to me

Make me into some sick joke
But no one's laughing
And least of all not me

It's hard to laugh as you choke

Hollywood lies piled up to the sky

Floating your way soon
Hope you like the rotten stench of doom


And everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through
These are rock hard times


I don't know what it is they think i'm gonna try
They don't know what they need to fear

The surest sign that the end is coming soon
Is right there in the bathroom mirror


Everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through
These are rock hard times

These are rock hard times
