Hard Time

[Chorus]
This yard is full of planned deceit
If only you had the mouth to see
Where time and trust has led us wrong
Like meter and rhyme to break my fall
Hard time
Hard time

[Verse 1]
With you keeping me inside this box
It won’t guarantee that I won’t be stopped
I suppose that hanging me from five stories
My fears from my toes leaves me ding-dangling, gling, gling
Absent-minded fellow said there’s nothing wrong with stumbling on
The curb you’re humbly walking on, early morning
Nothing wrong with trippin’ into traffic ‘cause the consequence of
Crushing you is doin’ hard time
As if they’re not already doin’ it

[Chorus]
Hard time
Hard time

[Verse 2]
But because you kick hardly means you’re right
And now I fall with guts and all
Descending by the foot, I count all the ways
By your stunning gaze, I’m corpsed by the tide
Thoughtful-minded fellow said there’s so much wrong with livin’ like
A fox
And filling foxholes with the eggs of honest people
So much wrong with livin’ like a great thief off the good graces of gentlemen
And women who do everything for nothing
As if they’re not already doin’ it
Hard time

[Chorus]
This yard is full of planned deceit
If only you had the mouth to see (Hard time)
Where time and trust has led us wrong
Like meter and rhyme to break my fall (Hard Time)
This yard is full of planned deceit ([?])
If only you had the mouth to see (Hard time) (Decisions were made in spite of time)
Where time and trust has led us wrong ([?])
Like meter and rhyme to break my fall
To break my fall
Hard time
Hard time
