"Hard Knocks" lyrics

Times are tough and getting tougher
The water's high and getting rougher
A lot of talk of going under
That's one thought, but I got another

I come from the school of hard knocks
The one my dad, and his dad, and his daddy taught
I learned early that you better learn fast
How to get back up when life knocks you flat on your back
And you don't back down
When the going gets tough
You ask for some more when ya had enough
When fear is a cold steel hammer that drops
You answer the door any time hard knocks

All the hate is getting bolder
All the words are getting colder
The latest news is getting older
They all wanna cry
Well, mine ain't the shoulder

I come from the school of hard knocks
The one my dad, and his dad, and his daddy taught
I learned early that you better learn fast
How to get back up when life knocks you flat on your back
And you don't back down
When the going gets tough
You ask for some more when ya had enough
When fear is a cold steel hammer that drops
You answer the door any time hard knocks

I come from the school of hard knocks
The one my dad, and his dad, and his daddy taught
I learned early that you better learn fast
How to get back up when life knocks you flat on your back
And you don't back down
When the going gets tough
You ask for some more when ya had enough
When fear is a cold steel hammer that drops
You answer the door any time hard knocks

Any time hard knocks
