Man, there's a whale out of water Lord, there's a bone on a string Doin' everything the hard way Doin' everything the hard way Still there's release for the wicked Weak feet and tired arms - watch them flail Cold and pale - the hard way Cold and pale - the hard way And so we drown in the animal sea The factory of human pride The place where I was born The place where my father died Last but not least there's an army marching like stoned ghosts in hell into the wishing well - the hard way wishing well - the hard way Doin' everything the hard way Doin' everything the hard way Doin' everything the hard way Doin' everything the hard way
