[Verse 1]
Any tough can fight - few can play
Any fool can fall - few can lay
Any stud can reproduce - few can please
Anyone can pay - few can lease

[Chorus]
It's hard – It's very very very very hard - so very hard
It's hard
(It's a hard hard hand to hold
It's a hard land to control)

[Verse 2]
Any man can claim - few can find
Any girl can blink - few can lie
Anyone can promise - few can raise
Anyone can try - but a few can stay

[Chorus]
It's hard – It's very very very very hard - so very hard
It's hard
(It's a hard hard hand to hold
It's a hard land to control)

[Verse 3]
Any brain can hide - few can stand
Any kid can fly - few can land
Any gang can scatter - few can form
Any kid can chatter - few can inform
[Chorus]
It's hard – It's very very very very hard - so very hard
It's hard
(It's a hard hard hand to hold
It's a hard land to control)

[Verse 4]
Any soul can sleep - few can die
Any wimp can weep - few can cry
Everyone complains - few can state
Anyone can stop - but few can wait

[Outro]
It's hard – It's very very very very hard - so hard
Anyone can do anything if they hold the right card
So I am thinking about my life now
I am thinking very hard
Deal me another hand Lord, this one's very hard[x2]
