Sangtekst: Supertramp. It's A Hard World.

I live in a vacuum, no air
I'm stuck in a back room somewhere
But it don't bother me anyway 'cause I know
Goin' to get out soon, got me places to go

There's a big world waiting for me
I just need a break, someone to believe
But right now, I'm just tryin' to survive
Livin' rough, shackin' up, hangin' tough, shapin' up

Get the picture, get the scene I paint for you
Ah, but it's worth it, all the pain I'm goin' through
Beat the sidewalk, hear the fast talk everyday
I don't worry 'cause I know I'm on my way

The view from my window, it ain't too good
Should be some mail for me soon from Hollywood
When the phone rings, could be big things anytime
Operator, is there somethin' wrong with this line?

Rejections, I've had a few
Happens to the best, ain't nothin' new
Still I keep on swingin' away
I know I'm gonna get there any day

Keep hanging in there and that's my philosophy, yeah
And soon I'll find my big chance, just you wait and see
Some make it fast but they just come and go
Me, I'm built to last and that's one thing I know

Some hard work, some hard work
Some hard work, some hard work
Some hard work, some hard work
Some hard work, some hard work
Some hard work, some hard work
Some hard work, some hard work

Those straight life people, they don't understand
Yeah, they just want it all laid out and planned
And I'm not like them, I do things my own way
And I know I'll get that breakthrough any day

Life in the city gets you down
There's a million guys out there, all snooping around
You gotta think you're the best, beat out all the rest
And fight your way up to the top of the town

There's a big world waiting for me
I just need a break, someone to believe
Right now, I'm just tryin' to survive
I'm know I'm gonna get there, dead or alive

Dead or alive, I'm gonna get there, oh, I know I will
I'm going to reach for the moon, all the stars too
I want the universe and all the planets
I'm gonna get it, I know I will
One, two, three, four
