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 it 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 puttin' 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 in an 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
It's the hard-knock life for us
Steada treated, we get tricked
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 in an foster kid
(It's the hard-knock life)
