They told me that I couldnât come back here again
Took me for some kind of fool
Said I was doing things that never should be done
But I donât care about their rules
As if I cared âbout the little minds
In the little heads of the herd
Thereâs 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 donât know what it is theyâre trying to do to me
Make me into some sick joke
But no oneâs laughing
And least of all not me
Itâs 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 donât know what it is they think Iâm gonna try
They donât know what they need to fear
The surest sign that the end is coming soon
Is right there in the bathroom mirror
And everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through
These are rock hard times
These are rock hard times
