Really Hard Lyrics by James

Justhipper: The Complete Sire & Blanco y Negro Recordings 1986-1988

1986

[Verse 1]
To be loving when the knives are out
Takes much courage and a mind without doubt
I'm just some robot, wind up the clockwork jerk
Trying to impress is the nature of my work

[Chorus]
And it's so hard to remain open
If it's true, it can't be spoken

Really hard
Really hard

[Verse 2]
Rhetoriticians think they're running this show
Words as power is all they'll ever know
I'm just some reflex, when struck, the knee will jerk
Trying to impress is the nature of our work

[Chorus]
And it's so hard to remain open
If you bend, you won't get broken

Really hard
Really hard

[Verse 3]
Wake up from this dreaming state
A long scream out, it's not too late
I am dying to begin
I am dying to begin again

[Outro]
Really hard
Really hard
