It's the hard-knock life for us
It's the hard-knock life for us
Steada treated,
We get tricked
Steada kisses,
We get kicked
It's the hard knock life
Don't if feel like the wind is always howlin?
Don't it seem like there's never any light?
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?
It's easier than putting up a fight
No one's there when your dreams at night get creepy
No one cares if you grow or if you shrink
Empty belly life!
Rotten smelly life!
Full of sorrow life!
No tomorrow life!
Santa Claus we never see
Santa Claus what's that? Who's he?
No one cares for you a bit
When you're a foster kid
It's the hard-knock life!
"Make my bathroom shine!
But don't touch my medicine cabinet!"
It's the hard-knock life for us
(Yank the whiskers from her chin)
It's the hard-knock life for us
(Jab her with a safety pin)
Steada treated,
We get tricked
(Send her to the looney bin)
Steada kisses,
We get kicked
It's the hard-knock life for us
It's the hard-knock life for us
No one cares for you a bit
When you're a foster kid
It's the hard-knock life
It's the hard-knock life
(Yank the whiskers from her chin)
(Jab her with a safety pin)
(Send her to the looney bin)
