I've been bounced around

But I'm still standing up

I've been so far down

That my ears they popped

And it was then I knew

By all the wrongs you do

- That if you can't be good - Be careful!

To achieve your happiness

On this terrestial ball..

Gotta have a clean conscience

But even better: None at all!!

But if you can't be good - Be careful yeah!

It's when a pat on the back becomes a slap in
your face now..

Don't look back just helpyourselfish.

And when your friends begin to loose their way..

Don't look back just helpyourselfish..

Yeah, it's easy to be hard, if we got everything
now

Don't look back just helpyourselfish...

Through the revolving door on someone elses push

Yeah it's easy to be hard Easy to be hard...

In between those who've got it made

- And those who've got to wait..

Yeah, I'll offer you a chair

But when you sit down - It isn't there!

Always quick to lend a hand

Sorry - Not today I can't...

But I'm always there when I need you - yeah!

It's when a pat on the back becomes a slap in
your face now..

Don't look back just helpyourselfish.

And when your friends begin to loose their way..

Don't look back just helpyourselfish..

Yeah, it's easy to be hard, if we got everything
now

Don't look back just helpyourselfish...

Through the revolving door on someone elses push

Yeah it's easy to be hard Easy to be hard...

Yeah, when a pat on the back becomes a slap in
your face now

And when your friends begin to loose their way

Don't look back - just helpyourselfish

Through the revolving door on someone elses push

Yeah, it's easy to be hard Yeah, yeah easy to be
hard...
