Livin in the east is easy
Till you run out of road
Friends will turn to strangers
When youre out of control
A slip of the tongue when
Its done, is often hard to
See it thru
So never let your words be lies
Or theyll come looking for you

Its a hard life to love

For the price of glory you left
And threw your fortunes away
Never really cared too much for
The job or the pay

Youre standing in the rain with
No cover but you never complain
Youre an angry young man face to
Face but your mirrors insane
Its a hard life to love

Im simply refusing a part in your world
And I see how it burns
See how it burns
And youre simply denying the fact
That youre blind and I see no more
I see red - I only see red

Think of all the times I was
Hurting but you felt no pain
Think of all the lies you told me
Again and again
And still you see the truth
From those who continue to lie
And now youre seeking life
From those who are living to die
Its a hard life to love

Im simply refusing a part in your world
And I see how it burns
See how it burns
And youre simply denying the fact
That youre blind and I see no more
I see red - I only see red

Livin in the fast lane aint easy
When you run out of road
Friends will turn to strangers
When youve nowhere to go
Dont give a damn when youre lost
Cause youll die from it all
Laws were made to be broken
And you do it for the thrill of it all
Its a hard life to love
Its a hard life to love
