It's A Hard World Lyrics

I live in a vacuum, no air I'm stuck in a back room somewhere But it don't bother me anyway 'cause I know Goin' to get out soon, got me places to go
There's a big world waiting for me I just need a break, someone to believe But right now, I'm just tryin' to survive Livin' rough, shackin' up, hangin' tough, shapin' up
Get the picture, get the scene I paint for you Ah, but it's worth it, all the pain I'm goin' through Beat the sidewalk, hear the fast talk everyday I don't worry 'cause I know I'm on my way
The view from my window, it ain't too good Should be some mail for me soon from Hollywood When the phone rings, could be big things anytime Operator, is there somethin' wrong with this line?
Rejections, I've had a few Happens to the best, ain't nothin' new Still I keep on swingin' away I know I'm gonna get there any day
Keep hanging in there and that's my philosophy, yeah And soon I'll find my big chance, just you wait and see Some make it fast but they just come and go Me, I'm built to last and that's one thing I know
Some hard work, some hard work Some hard work, some hard work Some hard work, some hard work Some hard work, some hard work Some hard work, some hard work Some hard work, some hard work
Those straight life people, they don't understand Yeah, they just want it all laid out and planned And I'm not like them, I do things my own way And I know I'll get that breakthrough any day
Life in the city gets you down There's a million guys out there, all snooping around You gotta think you're the best, beat out all the rest And fight your way up to the top of the town
There's a big world waiting for me I just need a break, someone to believe Right now, I'm just tryin' to survive I'm know I'm gonna get there, dead or alive
Dead or alive, I'm gonna get there, oh, I know I will I'm going to reach for the moon, all the stars too I want the universe and all the planets I'm gonna get it, I know I will One, two, three, four
