Rock Hard Times - Eels

They told me that I couldn’t come back here again

Took me for some kind of fool

Said I was doing things that never should be done

But I don’t care about their rules

As if I cared 'bout the little minds

In the little heads of the herd

There’s nothing you could dream

Would be more absurd

And everybody knows

These are rock hard times

I gotta make it through

These are rock hard times

I don’t know what it is they’re trying to do to me

Make me into some sick joke

But no one’s laughing and least of all, not me

It’s hard to laugh as you choke

Hollywood lies piled up to the sky

Floating your way soon

Hope you like the rotten stench of doom

And everybody knows

These are rock hard times

I gotta make it through

These are rock hard times

And everybody knows

These are rock hard times

I gotta make it through

These are rock hard times

I don’t know what it is they think I’m gonna try

They don’t know what they need to fear

The surest sign that the end is coming soon

Is right there in the bathroom mirror

Everybody knows

These are rock hard times

I gotta make it through

These are rock hard times

These are rock hard times
