Do It The Hard Way Lyrics

(Grace Slick)

She's been living to high trying to get through to heaven at night

They all knew she was bound to go down 'way before she fell

They all know how it feels to try and hold on to the light

They know the darkness of the night sky so well

But there’s just no way to tell her

She'll do it the hard way'

She's gonna break right through the sign that says

This is the end of the ride

She'll do it the hard way

She's gonna shake the hands of time and try to

Turn back the tide

She'll do it the hard way

She's gonna take whatever she can find until there's

No one by her side

And there's no place left to hide

Se sad I'm gonna get more out of living every day

She said I know how to get more out of life if I just had more time

If I can just keep on taking when someone else is giving it away

That way the sweet life - That'll be all mine in no time

But there's just no more time for her

Chorus

She said I've got to make 'en all think I'm winning so I'll just tell 'em lies

That way I can make sure no one ever knows just exactly what I mean

Then I can beat the drums and yell it to the skies

I'm the queen of the nut house I'm the queen

And I can justify myself - say I been cheated

I'm the only one in this game who knows how to play

And if it weren't for time - I'd never be defeated

But people, places and thongs - they get in my way

And I don't like what they say

She's gonna keep on doing it till she proves that they're all wrong

She's got to let 'em know she's the exception to the rule

She's got no friends 'cause she thinks she's so damn strong

But she's the only one who doesn't know that she's the fool

So now I'm asking you What will you do?

If you become the fool
