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]
