Lyrics
HARD FACTS
© 2004 Diane Waters
For just once, I'd like to forget
I got to be somewhere, I got to be someone
But how do I do it, without messing up my life
Why are there so many matches
And what are bridges for
CHORUS
Maybe we could sail away, and never come back
It's O.K. cause it ain't even payday
Maybe we could walk on down to the train tracks
And listen to the rhythm of anything but hard facts
This is too much reality for me
And my head is swimming
Thought they'd figure it out by now
But it's only beginning (that's what they do)
CHORUS
REFRAIN
We can dream we got a refund on our income tax
Maybe we could dance a little, forget about our aching backs
Who needs the fresh air, when we can breath the smoke stacks
There ain't nobody dying, I think I'll buy another six pack
Forget about the children cause the TV's preaching safe sex
And granny's in her rocking chair,
Saying Elvis will be coming back, Elvis will be coming back
CHORUS
We can sail away, we can sail away
We can walk on down, we can walk on
And listen to the rhythm of anything but hard facts
Listen to the rhythm of anything but hard fact'sÂ?
