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]
