Hard Sun
[Verse 1]
The city lights flick to display
Bang there goes another day
The believers in the basement
They are singing songs about a way
Reborn and regenerate
But none of this communicates to me
Up here on the second floor
I've forgotten what I'm waiting for
A friend, a brother, mother, woman
Maybe
But I have all these in the sulphate
Emotionless and considerate
To me
[Chorus]
And it's a hard sun
A hard sun that's
Been beating on my back
It's a hard sun
That shines its light on me
It's a hard sun
A hard sun that's
Been beating on my back
It's a hard sun
That shines its light on me
[Verse 2]
The silver clock chimes off again
Reminds me of my childhood pain
And the burden that was lifted
When I made it to the city
Disillusioned and full of hate
But a member of the mother state and free
At empty walls I sit and stare
I sense a feeling in the air
In the throes of thought I wonder
Can I make it on my own
But, deep down in my heart I known
That I ain't never, ever going home
[Chorus]
And it's a hard sun
A hard sun that's
Been beating on my back
It's a hard sun
That shines its light on me
It's a hard sun
A hard sun that's
Been beating on my back
It's a hard sun
That shines its light on me
[Instrumental Outro]
