It's hard, hard not to sit on your hands   And bury your head in the sand   Hard not to make other plans   And claim that you've done all you can all along   And life must go on      It's hard, hard to stand up for what's right   And bring home the bacon each night   Hard not to break down and cry   When every idea that you've tried has been wrong   But you must go on      It's hard but you know it's worth the fight   'Cause you know you've got the truth on your side   When the accusations fly, hold tight   Don't be afraid of what they'll say   Who cares what cowards think, anyway?   They will understand one day, one day      It's hard, hard when you're here all alone   And everyone else has gone home   Harder to know right from wrong   When all objectivity's gone   And it's gone   But you still carry on      'Cause you, you are the only one left   And you've got to clean up this mess   You know you'll end up like the rest   Bitter and twisted, unless   You stay strong and you carry on      It's hard, but you know it's worth the fight   'Cause you know you've got the truth on your side   When the accusations fly, hold tight   And don't be afraid of what they'll say   Who cares what cowards think, anyway?   They will understand one day, one day
