The Front Bottoms
​the hard way
[Verse 1]
We crash
It starts to rain
Who's ever writin' my story wants me to learn the hard way
Don't take it easy on the character
I am the character

[Pre-Chorus]
750,000 miles every day
If I was a robot man, if I had titanium for legs
Don't take it easy on the animal
I am the animal
Rough at the start
I'm not perfect, I'm fallin' apart
Don't seem worth it anymore

[Chorus]
The hard way, the hard way
We are all going the hard way

[Verse 2]
First I came
Then I crashed
Try to see it from my perspective
Don't take it easy on the animal
I am the animal
[Pre-Chorus]
750,000 miles every day
If I was a robot man, if I had titanium for legs
Don't take it easy on the animal
I am the animal
Rough at the start
I'm not perfect, I'm fallin' apart
Don't seem worth it anymore

[Chorus]
The hard way, the hard way
We are all going the hard way
The hard way, the hard way

[Bridge]
I had found myself while waitin' in line
I know it helps but it's not gonna fly
I know it hurts and I'm not gonna lie
It's the way that I live and it just doesn't feel right
I had found myself while waitin' in line
I know it hurts but I'm not gonna cry
I try to explain but it's gettin' hard
How you crashed your car and how your scars got scars
Totally useless, crooked nail
Never again like I was born to fail
Try to explain but it's gettin' hard
How you crashed your car and how your scars got scars
How your scars got scars
[Verse 3]
Rough at the start
I'm not perfect, I'm fallin' apart
It's not worth it
I bet our vibrations are meetin' somewhere out there in the air

[Chorus]
The hard way, the hard way
We are all going the hard way
The hard way, the hard way
We are all going the hard way
