The second KISS song named for a Charles Dickens book (after “Great Expectations”), this Ace Frehley track ruminates on the difficult journey he’s faced growing up in New York and how his tough life has given him a unique perspective on success.

Hard Times Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I recall days in the city
And I think back, oh what a pity
Remembering how it wasn't pretty
Everyday life in the city

Out in the street, we had to take it
With friends around, we couldn't fake it
What wasn't there, we had to make it
Hanging out down in the city

[Chorus]
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be

[Verse 2]
We had to fight to be accepted
It wasn't right, and I protested
For hanging out, we got arrested
Everyday life in the city

We'd go to school and then we'd cut out
Go to the park and space our heads out
We called it fun, but there was some doubt
Hangin' out down in the city

[Chorus]
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be

[Bridge]
I don't wanna be there or even think back
I don't wanna be there, now I'm on the right track, yeah

[Chorus]
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be

[Outro]
I don't wanna be there or even think back
I don't wanna be there, 'cause I'm on the right track
Now I'm on the right track
I'm finally on the right track
I'm finally on the right track
