Stalking at night, darkness covers his face, hiding the scars

A shadow of pain lies in his staring eyes, glowing like faraway stars

No place where he can hide

No money to spent

They say he must be despised

But what would you do

When life's hard on you

Sleeping at day, like a wolf in the forest, roming the night for prey

To steal for a living, to kill or be killed, it's the law of the jungle they say

Like an escape through the desert

with the dogs on your trail

You know that your chances grow less

But what would you do

When life's hard on you

Refrein

Nobody knows what to do

When life's hard on you

There are lots of answers but which one is true

Hard to say

Preachers will come but they won't stay

Go away

Don't think about it, live for the day

Lost in the night, the dark is an enemy, waiting to leap out on you

You're left alone, sput upon, all your friends are gone

You wonder how you will come through

Escape throught the desert

They say you're a fool

But you know you have had it

What else can you do

When life's hard on you
