It's a cold hard world
   it's a cold hard world
   it's a cold hard world
   oh no
  
   I heard Red Donley say
   it was on the news today
   it's a cold hard world
   it's a cold hard world
  
   it's hiking across the country
   looking for a bite to eat
   you'd be surprised at the animals
   and the people you'd meet
  
   rolling down that highway
   with eyes fixed straight ahead
   they have a caravan of cars
   to bury the dead
   and coke cans and pop bottles
   lined the streets like flowers instead
  
   and this guy gave me a ride
   I said this industrial wave sure stinks
   he said he likes that smell
   'cause that's the smell of money
   i said "well, mister money stinks, too."
  
   [ref.]
  
   I met a fireman
   he said you never forget burning flesh
   and the librarian said
   do you have a card here?
   I said I been coming here for weeks
   don't you recognize me by now
   I checked out a million books
   just to get you to notice me
  
   [ref.]
  
   Somebody's house burned down
   somebody's hubcap fell off
   somebody's soul got lost
   somebody's heart got broke
  
   I heard Red Donley say
   it was on the news today
   it's a cold hard world
   it's a cold hard world
