The Harder They Fall Lyrics

Abandon Kansas The Harder They Fall

We all want what we deserve
Unless it's going to hurt
And I would rather earn my bread
Off the sweat of someone else's face
Than use my own strength

We work so hard to reserve this dream
That's a nightmare
And now my eyes are used to the dark

There is no one left
Who isn't better than the rest
I need to hear you say that I'm the best

Absurdity reigns
And confusion makes it look good
A poor man's kingdom
Or a rich man's delusion
Mad men in authority hear voices in the air
Distilling their frenzy
From academic scribblers in despair

We work so hard to reserve this dream
That's a nightmare
And now my eyes are used to the dark

There is no one left
Who isn't better than the rest
I need to hear you say
There is no one left
Who isn't better than the rest
I need to hear you say that I'm the best

The bigger they are
The harder they fall
Your ego is swelling
Your heart is so small

The bigger they are
The harder they fall
Your ego is swelling
Your heart is so small

The bigger they are
The harder they fall
Your ego is swelling
Your heart is so small
The bigger they are
The harder they fall
Your ego is swelling

There is no one left
Who isn't better than the rest
I need to hear you say
The bigger they are
The harder they fall
